Configuring dictionaries and rules

You can create linguistic resources such as dictionaries and rules and include them in your UIMA pipeline to analyze text and annotate items of interest, such as names of cities.

About this task

The source data for most of the linguistic resources is stored in databases. Each database is built into a compiled file that can be used in the UIMA pipeline to analyze text and annotate items of interest. Whenever you update a resource, you must rebuild its compiled file from the database before your pipeline can use the updated resource to analyze documents.

You can back up a database by exporting it. If necessary, you can create a database from the exported database content, such as to copy a database to another computer.

Tip: Before you can perform the following operations on a dictionary or rules database, you must close the database by right-clicking the database in the Studio Explorer view and clicking Close.
  • Synchronize a database with a source control repository
  • Copy a database
  • Edit properties of a database
  • Import data into a database
