HAREM is the first evaluation contest of named entity recognition (NER) for Portuguese, and its call for participation was announced in September 2004. The contest proper happened in 14-16 February 2005, providing us with 15 runs by 10 participants (see complete list here), plus 3 extra-official runs (because they came outside schedule). The last results were published on the Web in October of the same year.

Etymology Coming from the Arab tradition, the harîm حريم (compare haram) is a word old Caliphs used to call their maids (Another common word is Gairya جارية). The world knows the harem by way of the Ottoman Empire.In Western languages such as English, this term refers collectively to the women in any polygynous household as well as to the "no men allowed" area, or in more modern usage to a number of women followers, friends, or admirers of a man. In other Western languages, the term serraglio - from an Italian variant of Persian saraay, meaning 'palace, enclosed courts' - has much the same connotations.
