The Apache UIMA team is pleased to announce the release of Apache UIMA Ruta (Rule-based Text Annotation), version 2.5.0.
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: - Depends on UIMA 2.9.0 and uimaFIT 2.2.0 - New block FOREACH: iterate over pattern and reuse the matched annotation in contained rules - Label expressions across inlined rules are supported, behave like local variables now - Feature expressions on label expressions are supported - Setting values of variables by configuration parameter - Macros support variables - New type function: typeFromString - Wordlist initialization with string expressions: simplified specification of language-dependent dictionary usage - New maven archetype for typical UIMA Ruta projects - Improved and faster maven plugins - Parameters additionalScripts and additionalEngines are now optional - Removed engine loader concept and parameter completely - Removed redundant Document type - Improved datapath support - Improved resource manager support - Many bug fixes and improvements UIMA Ruta Workbench: - Improved support of classpath-lookup in maven-based projects - Launch configuration supports various serialization formats (with preference) - 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.
