IBM LanguageWare Resource Workbench Description

A technology which provides a full range of text analysis functions

IBM LanguageWare is a technology which provides a full range of text analysis functions. It is used extensively throughout the IBM product suite and is successfully deployed in solutions which focus on mining facts from large repositories of text. With support for more than 20 languages, LanguageWare is the ideal solution for extracting the value locked up in unstructured text information and exposing it to business applications. With the emerging importance of Business Intelligence and the explosion in text-based information, the need to exploit this “hidden” information has never been so great. LanguageWare technology not only provides the functionality to address this need, it also makes it easier than ever to create, manage and deploy analysis engines and their resources.

It comprises Java libraries with a large set of features and the linguistic resources that supplement them. It also comprises an easy-to-use Eclipse-based development environment for building custom text analysis applications. In a few clicks, it is possible to create and deploy UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture) annotators that perform everything from simple dictionary lookups to more sophisticated syntactic and semantic analysis of texts using dictionaries, rules and ontologies.

The LanguageWare libraries provide the following non-exhaustive list of features: dictionary look-up and fuzzy look-up, lexical analysis, language identification, spelling correction, hyphenation, normalization, part-of-speech disambiguation, syntactic parsing, semantic analysis, facts/entities extraction and relationship extraction. For more details see the documentation.

The LanguageWare Resource Workbench provides a complete development environment for the building and customization of dictionaries, rules, ontologies and associated UIMA annotators. This environment removes the need for specialist knowledge of the underlying technologies of natural language processing or UIMA. In doing so, it allows the user to focus on the concepts and relationships of interest, and to develop analyzers which extract them from text without having to write any code. The resulting application code is wrapped as UIMA annotators, which can be seamlessly plugged into any application that is UIMA-compliant.

LanguageWare is used in such various products as Lotus Notes and Domino, Information Integrator OmniFind Edition (IBM's search technology), and more.

The LanguageWare Resource Workbench technology runs on Windows and Linux. The core LanguageWare libraries support a much broader list of platforms. For more details on platform support please see the product documentation.
How does it work?

The LanguageWare Resource Workbench allows users to easily:

* Develop rules to spot facts, entities and relationships using a simple drag and drop paradigm
* Build language and domain resources into a LanguageWare dictionary or ontology
* Import and export dictionary data to/from a database
* Browse the dictionaries to assess their content and quality
* Test rules and dictionaries in real-time on documents
* Create UIMA annotators for annotating text with the contents of dictionaries and rules
* Annotate text and browse the contents of each annotation.

The Workbench contains the following tools:

* A dictionary viewer/editor
* An XML-based dictionary builder
* A Database-based dictionary builder (DB2 and Apache Derby support are provided)
* A dictionary comparison tool
* A rule viewer/editor/builder
* A UIMA annotator generator, which allows text documents to be annotated and the results displayed.
* A UIMA CAS (common annotation structure) comparator, which allows you to compare the results of two different analyses through comparing the CASes generated by each run.

The LanguageWare Resource Workbench documentatation is available online and is also installed using the Windows or Linux installers or using the respective .zip files.

What type of application is LanguageWare suitable for?

LanguageWare technology can be used in any application that makes use of text analytics. Good examples are:

* Business Intelligence
* Information Search and Retrieval
* The Semantic Web (in particular LanguageWare supports semantic analysis of documents based on ontologies)
* Analysis of Social Networks
* Semantic tagging applications
* Semantic search applications
* Any application wishing to extract useful data from unstructured text
