Named Entity Recognition for Danish

Distributed by [ITU NLP](https://nlp.itu.dk)

This tool uses Stanford CoreNLP NER and the model from DKIE to tag incoming Danish plaintext for named entities, in three classes: location, person, and organization names.

To run:

* Download and, if needed, unzip
* In the same directory as the code, where your text is in "textfile", run:
  * `daner <textfile>` (Windows)
  * `./daner <textfile>` (Mac or Linux)
