Hi Peter,
I was very impressed when you showed me a demo of TextMarker
last year, so I think it's great you're coming up with this
proposal. I will download and play with it over the coming
few weeks, but I'll probably be really busy before Xmas, so
it might take a while...
Thanks :-)
Just a short note: As TextMarker is still based DLTK 1.0, the correct
plugins are maybe missing in the Helios update site. I think I'll add
another link in the wiki and improve the feature dependencies. Besides
that, no problems should occur.
If we decide to accept TextMarker into UIMA, we will need a
code grant: http://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt
I assume your university owns the rights to all the code, so
you may want to bring this up with your legal department. I
know it's a bit early, but I'm bringing this up now because
there may be some lead time.
Yes, I will contact our legal department.
So just to make sure I understand this correctly: the
language is completely independent of the Eclipse based
development environment. I could in principle write
rules with just a text editor, if I wanted to. Correct?
Yes. And I assume that some people are even doing that. But in this case
you need to configure the analysis engine descriptor correctly since it
is not created by the workbench.
I think such a language is a very important feature
that UIMA is currently missing. We have nothing that
compares with GATE's JAPE language, for example.
There is of course the LanguageWare platform, but as you know there are
also many differences.
Peter
