# Named Entity Recognition Packages

OpenText provides the following Named Entity Recognition ZIP packages:

- Named Entity Recognition SDK. The Named Entity Recognition SDK, which you can use to create applications that use a Named Entity Recognition engine directly. This package includes:

  - Libraries and API reference documentation for the C, .NET, Java, and Python APIs.

  - The edktool command-line tool and example configuration file, which you can use to compile and test your custom grammars. See Compile and Test Grammars.

- Named Entity Recognition ACI Server. The Named Entity Recognition ACI Server, which allows you to run Named Entity Recognition by using ACI actions from a Web browser or front-end application.

- Named Entity Recognition Grammars. This package contains Named Entity Recognition resource files (grammar files and associated post-processing scripts, pre-filter configuration files, and pre-filter dictionaries). The grammar files that you can use depend on your license.

  - PII grammars find Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in your data, so that you can manage this data and conform to regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For more information, refer to the Named Entity Recognition Grammars User Guide.
  - PHI grammars find Protected Healthcare Information (PHI) in your data, to ensure compliance with regulations such as the Standards of Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information implemented as part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). For more information, refer to the Named Entity Recognition Grammars User Guide.
  - PCI grammars find Payment Card Industry (PCI) information in your data, to ensure compliance with financial regulations. For more information, refer to the Named Entity Recognition Grammars User Guide.
  - GOV grammars find governmental document markings and other information in your data, to help you comply with data management restrictions. For more information, refer to the Named Entity Recognition Grammars User Guide.
  - General grammars. Standard Named Entity Recognition grammar files, including some XML source files for you to use to extend the grammars. See Standard Grammars.

Named Entity Recognition is also included as part of the OpenText Knowledge Discovery ingestion components, Connector Framework Server, and NiFi Ingest. For more information, refer to the Connector Framework Server Administration Guide, and the NiFi Ingest Getting Started Guide.
