The GATE family
GATE is a multi purpose system: “GATE has grown over the years to include a desktop client for developers, a workflow-based web application, a Java library, an architecture and a process.”
GATE is:
- an IDE, GATE Developer4: an integrated development environment for language processing components bundled with a very widely used Information Extraction system and a comprehensive set of other plugins
- a web app: GATE Teamware a collaborative annotation environment for factory-style semantic annotation projects built around a workflow engine and a heavily-optimised backend service infrastructure
- a framework, GATE Embedded: an object library optimised for inclusion in diverse applications giving access to all the services used by GATE Developer and more
- an architecture: a high-level organisational picture of how language processing software composition
- a process for the creation of robust and maintainable services
