In this paper, we present a tool aiming at merging named entity annotations provided by different named entity recognition sys-tems. This tool is based on UIMA platform and contains a merging module which uses information about the compatibility of vari-ous annotations and can point out conflicts, and thus yields annotations that are more reli-able than those of any single annotator. This work has been performed as part of the In-fom@gic project
