| <h2><a name="what.is.uima-addons">1. What is the UIMA-Addons package?</a></h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Apache UIMA addons package is a collection of additional components for the base UIMA release. |
| The add-on package contains annotator components developed for Apache UIMA. The |
| add-on package fits the Apache UIMA directory structure and adds a directory |
| called "addons lib" that contains the following annotator components: |
| <ul> |
| <li>DictionaryAnnotator</li> |
| <li>RegularExpressionAnnotator</li> |
| <li>Tagger</li> |
| <li>WhitespaceTokenizer</li> |
| <li>Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) BSFAnnotator</li> |
| <li>ConceptMapper</li> |
| <li>ConfigurableFeatureExtractor</li> |
| <li>Lucas</li> |
| <li>OpenCalaisAnnotator</li> |
| <li>SnowballAnnotator</li> |
| <li>TikaAnnotator</li> |
| <li>AlchemyAPIAnnotator</li> |
| <li>Solrcas</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| Additionally the package contains some components to package annotators |
| and for accessing annotators as simple REST service. These are: |
| <ul> |
| <li>PearPackagingAntTask</li> |
| <li>SimpleServer</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| There is an addon to the base UIMA: |
| <ul> |
| <li>FsVariables</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Each component has a separate LICENSE and NOTICE files; some also |
| have Readme and other documentation (in docs/). Documentation |
| is also available on the UIMA website, in the Sandbox area. |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2><a name="major.changes">2. Major Changes in this Release</a></h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| The following components were added in this release: |
