Banner or a collection of NLP tools like ResourceWrapper

[ziy]

I am wondering if we need a repo for collection of NLP tools like ResourceWrapper, including Banner. @CollinM

How specific is this repo going to be? What do we define as an NLP tool? NER, tokenizers, POS taggers, ...?

Having thought about this a little more, I think we should have a repo of wrapped NLP tools, whether they be NER, tokenizers, POS taggers, whatever. Seems like it should be parallel to the algorithms repo, in the sense that the implementations should be general enough to be used in any pipeline, regardless of the specificty of the tool, e.g. BANNER, Stanford, etc should all have canonical implementations that go here.
