GATE is a Java framework for developing natural language processing applications.
GATE (a General Architecture for Text Engineering, http://gate.ac.uk) is a family of open-source tools for developing natural language processing applications. The GATE family includes a number of inter-related components, and this tag is appropriate for questions about any of them:
- GATE Developer, a graphical development environment for NLP applications.
- GATE Embedded, the Java library underlying GATE Developer, allowing applications developed in Developer to be embedded into other Java applications.
- GATE Teamware, a web-based collaborative annotation and data curation platform.
- GATE Mímir, an indexing system supporting annotation- and ontology-based search over large text collections that have been processed by a GATE Embedded application.
- GATECloud.net, a service for running GATE Embedded applications over large corpora using cloud computing.
GATE Developer, Embedded and Mímir are licenced under the Lesser GPL, and Teamware under the Affero GPL.
