I have the formal name recognizer that Clark mentioned. When I run iwgenmetadata, I get the following:
General.Keywords
string
San Francisco
James Beard Foundation
Bradley Ogden
fresh American cuisine
classic farm
name.person
string
Bradley Ogden
James Beard
Bradley Ogden
Michael Dellar
Marin County
Santa Clara
James Beard
So metatagger.cfg is generating the correct info (as correct as Santa Clara and Marin County being persons can be.

)
But when I try to tag via TS, the 4 other engines (keywords, summary, etc) get populated correctly, but this is empty every time. There are re-Tag AND Add/Edit (like it is a taxonomy) buttons so it recognizes that they are MetaTagger, but no data.
From metatagger.cfg:
name.person
but the files in metatagger.conf are name.person.en.*
datacapture.cfg:
<br />
Any clue ? Tips/pointers/RTFMs appreciated.
