Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-2811:
--------------------------------------

At a high level, this project is about convenient ways to construct text 
(only?) annotators from "rules".  So, in some ways, it's like "drools" but 
specific to UIMA (and maybe to text). It's like a rule language augmentation or 
add-on to UIMA, with workbench support.

Some kinds of names use generic strings of words.  Some possibilities: UIMA 
Rules Language, UIMA Rules Language and Workbench.

Other names might be derived from this: UIMA RulesLanguage  UIMA RulesLW.

If this is only for text, we could work that word in:
Text Rules Language, Rules Text Language and Workbenc, TextRulesLanguage , 
TRLW, RTLW, RulesTLW, etc.

Another Apache tradition is to pick a name with no relation.  e.g.,  these 
already taken names: "Anakia", "Roller" "Shindig".  Here, a generator based on 
random picking against a large corpus of (somewhat common) proper nouns could 
give some candidates we could then pick from :-)
