| <h2><a name="what.is.uima-ruta">1. What is UIMA Ruta?</a></h2> | |
| <p> | |
| 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 Apache UIMA™. | |
| A special focus lies on the intuitive and flexible domain specific language for defining | |
| patterns of annotations. The Eclipse-based tooling for Ruta, called the Ruta Workbench, | |
| was created to support the user and to facilitate every step when writing Ruta rules. Both the | |
| Ruta rule language and the Ruta Workbench integrate smoothly with Apache UIMA. | |
| </p> | |

| <p> | |
| <p>UIMA Ruta Language and Analysis Engine:</p> | |

| <li>New language feature: label expressions at actions for directly assigning/reusing newly created annotations. Example: Document{-> a:T1, CREATE(T2, "ref" = a)};</li> | |
| <li>New language feature: new type of rule element for completely optional match which does not require an existing annotation and therefore also works at the boundary of a window/document. Example: NUM _{-PARTOF(CW)};</li> | |
| <li>Type lists can be used as matching condition.</li> | |
| <li>Initial default value of string and annotations variables is now null.</li> | |
| <li>Comparison of annotation and annotation list are now supported..</li> | |
| <li>New configuration parameter 'inferenceVisitors'.</li> | |
