In this paper we describe the work towards developing new resources and Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools for the Galician language. First, a new corpus, manually revised, for POS tagging and lemmatization is described. Second, we present a new manually annotated corpus for Named Entity tagging for Galician. Third, we train and develop new NLP tools for Galician, including the first publicly available Galician statistical modules for lemmatization and Named Entity Recognition, and new modules for POS tagging, Wikification and Named Entity Disambiguation. Finally, we also present two new Web demo applications to easily test the new set of tools online.
