System Text for Information Extraction

This system enables text-centered enterprise applications by extracting structured information from unstructured text. Unlike previous systems for information extraction, System Text incorporates AQL, a declarative rule language that makes it easy to express precise specifications for complex patterns in text.

Thanks to System Text's sophisticated, cost-based optimizer, these complex rules can run on enterprise-scale workloads with minimal hardware. System Text technology provides state-of-the-art information extraction for Lotus Notes Live Text, IBM OmniFind Personal Email Search (also available here at alphaWorks), and several forthcoming IBM products.

This release of the System Text for Information Extraction includes the Development Environment component, which provides support for building and testing extraction rules in AQL. Also included are example rules in AQL, as well as documentation for the rule language and the Development Environment.
