Tag locations in email

      Your task is to read from English email text and tag parts of the text that 
      refer to locations and addresses, such as “New York,” “my house,” or “16 
      Westchester Avenue.”  You will be presented with text from the Enron Email 
      Corpus (made available to the public after the company's legal investigation) 
      and asked to identify spans of text that correspond to a location.  Please tag 
      the largest contiguous span of text that refers to a location, including a 
      full address (which may span multiple lines).

              -----

              Seattle is beautiful this time of year.

              -----

              Meet me at the corner of 16th Street and Washington.

              -----

              John's address is as follows:

              16 Westchester Ave
              Anywhere, USA 98321

              -----

              Will you have to take the bus to get downtown?

              -----

      Tips:

      1) When in doubt, go with your gut and make the best guess.  Making a bad 
      guess is still better than making no guess at all.
      2) When you can, always tag the largest contiguous span of text.
      3) Please do not tag locative adverbs such as “here” and “there.”

Finally: you do not have to highlight mentions in the email headers, e.g. "To:", "From:", or "Subject:" lines.


    Please select a span of text on the right.

    If you are having trouble selecting, try double-clicking then dragging. The interface only allows entire words to be selected at once.

    We're still working out bugs in the system. If you have any issues -- especially a bug where the "Remove" button doesn't work -- please tell us in the comments. Make sure to let us know what web browser you're using. Thanks!

Subject: Re: NG YEAR ENd Quiz  

I belong to a natgas discussion group on the internet. This is from one of 
the guys. Basically they are a bunch of gastraders from various firms ( a lot 
of producers, some industrials, some small shops and few i--banker types) I 
found the test to be mildly amusing. And since I had no idea what 'club no 
minors' was-- i was hoping for some insight from you guys. Fortunately, the 
lovely Ms. Shipos was able to fill me in.

Anyway, while occasionally garbage, the discussions do provide insight on 
what others are thinking of production, storage and other such matters. And 
when I was a marketer, I found a few leads. Finally, since a lot of the 
information revolves around gossip about a particular 'super trader' at the 
big ENE , i find it amusing that one of the most reserved and modest 
individuals I know is so talked about on the internet.
