The Apache UIMA team is pleased to announce the release of Apache UIMA Ruta (Rule-based Text Annotation), version 2.6.0.
The Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) is a component framework supporting development, discovery, composition, and deployment of multi-modal analytics tasked with the analysis of unstructured information. Apache UIMA is an Apache licensed open source implementation of the UIMA specification which is being developed by a technical committee within OASIS, a standards organization. The implementation comprises an SDK and tooling for composing and running analytic components written in Java and C++, with some support for Perl, Python and TCL. Apache UIMA Ruta is a rule-based script language supported by Eclipse-based tooling. The language is designed to enable rapid development of text processing applications within UIMA. A special focus lies on the intuitive and flexible domain specific language for defining patterns of annotations. The Eclipse-based tooling, called the Apache UIMA Ruta Workbench, was created to support the user and to facilitate every step when writing rules. Both the rule language and the workbench integrate smoothly with Apache UIMA. Major Changes in this Release UIMA Ruta Language and Analysis Engine: - Annotation expressions can be restricted using feature matches and conditions - Several new configuration parameters for RutaEngine - Experimental features to optimize internal indexing (for experienced users) - Minimal support of feature structures in feature match expressions - API change report for ruta-core - Typesystem descriptors with JCasGen classes are located in separate artifact - Implementation of RutaBasic is located in separate artifact - Many bug fixes and improvements, especially for label expressions UIMA Ruta Workbench: - Direct debugging of launched scripts in Java is supported - Improved error messages in launcher - Removed restriction of classpath size causing problems in launcher - Deactivated noVM preference - Changed UI to set annotation mode in views - Launcher uses project encoding - Bug fixes This release requires an update of script projects and its descriptors in the UIMA Ruta Workbench. There are several ways to achieve this. The recommended way is to right-click on the UIMA Ruta project and select "UIMA Ruta -> Convert to UIMA Ruta project", which will update all provided descriptors. Then, select the project and press "Project -> Clean..." in the menu, which will regenerate all descriptors of your scripts based on the new templates. Projects built with the UIMA Ruta Maven Plugin require no manual effort.
