Hallo,
Yesterday was too late for my brain :)
Well. textmarker (http://textmarker.sourceforge.net/) seems very
interesting to me.
Is it comparable with jape?
R
A short comparison (please correct me if I am wrong):
JAPE and TextMarker are rule-based tools that process patterns of
annotations. JAPE is able to directly include Java code and is built on
GATE (a UIMA bridge is available). TextMarker uses an imperative
processing of the rule set, provides scripting elements and an extension
mechanism for third-party condition, actions and functions (for numbers,
strings, booleans and types) and is directly built on UIMA. Analysis
Engines and Type System are created by a build process and arbitrary
Analysis Engine can be executed by rules.
We think that a good development environment is essential for the
usability of a knowledge engineering tool and are currently working on a
context-sensitive auto-completion, a formatter, a test-driven
development approach and implementations of prominent rule learning
methods. I must admit that I don't know if there is an engineering
support for JAPE.
The implementation of JAPE should be faster than TextMarker, but I don't
know how fast the bridge is. In contrast to JAPE, TextMarker is still in
an early project phase. JAPE is well documented and tested, TextMarker
not (yet).
