    Hi,

    I wish to take the POS tagged sentences from a document and break/assemble it into simple Subject, Object, Predicate.
    Is there anything ready-made in NLP world, or even OpenNLP, that i could readily use?
    Would the chunker be the right component? Where could i find some literature regarding some basic theory of Chunker, some usage, example/tutorial (i wish :) ), anything?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Regards,

    Nitin

      I'm not positive, but I don't think the Chunker is going to be enough for you.  You might want to try out Tom's parser (in opennlp tools) which produces a Penn Treebank style parse.  This should provide enough information to get what you want.

      I've never used this myself, but there are some simple instructions in the OpenNLP README file.  I think that the annotations are described in ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/treebank/doc/manual/root.ps.gz.
