I agree with Marshall in most points. Here are some additional comments:
RUCOTALA is too long in my opinion. RUCOLA and RUCOTALA are very similar: The acronym is a bit constructed and you won't actively use the full name. I think RUCOLA is better than RUCOTALA, because it is shorter and a real word. TRL: The name itself is not as nice as others, but it is short and you can actively use the full name (UIMA Text Rule Language). I think this is important when you talk to people outside of the UIMA community. They instantely know what you are talking about. On the other side, that are just three word put together, which doesn't sound completely right. RUCOTALA was derived from the fact that the name should refer to something about "text" and maybe "annotation". If we reduce that name and remove everything that isn't really important, you end up with "RUTAL" (Rule-based Text Annotation Language), which I actually prefer a lot over RUCOTALA. I have found no problematic (legal) stuff concerning "rutal" yet. I propose, therefore, a new name and cast two votes: UIMA-RUTAL: +1 UIMA-TRL: +1 Best, Peter On 18.04.2013 16:54, Marshall Schor wrote: > I'm basically +1 for any of these. > > Some specific comments: > UIMA-TRL - good that it's short an simple. > > For the rest of the candidates, I think in actual documentation, the full > names > should not use the upper-case acronym convention - it disrupts the > readability, > in my opinion. > > In general, I think the shorter names are preferable. > > -Marshall > > On 4/18/2013 6:10 AM, Peter Klügl wrote: >> Hi, >> >> we are currently looking for a new name for the Apache UIMA TextMarker system >> (language and workbench) and invite the UIMA comunity to vote for a name. >> This is not a formal vote.
