• Supporting modularity and interoperability among Components

• Java API with source code

• Pre-trained multi-lingual models (i.e. English, German, Italian)

• Trainable with new sample data

• Detailed documentation to understand the structure and implementation of EOP

• Quick Start documentation to start using EOP from now

• Results and configuration files archive shared among users
