Hi Greg, >From 30,000 ft, I think that you would want to use the RutaEngine.
https://uima.apache.org/d/ruta-current/tools.ruta.book.html#ugr.tools.ruta.ae.basic https://javadoc.io/doc/org.apache.uima/ruta-core/latest/org/apache/uima/ruta/engine/RutaEngine.html http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/uima/ruta/trunk/ruta-core/src/main/java/org/apache/uima/ruta/engine/RutaEngine.java That seems to be the actual analysis engine that loads and uses rules to create annotations. While you could use an xml descriptor or use the piper "set" command and do things like mapping ruta to ctakes type systems, I would take the alternate approach of "copying" the initialize(..) and process (..) methods and modify them to use ctakes types directly. Disclaimer: I know very little about uima ruta. At some point I did look into it but it was for a specific (ctakes-derivative) project and I didn't go further than basic doc perusal. If you move forward with this please let us all know what you find. I think that there will be great interest in the community.

When I Googled around, I stumbled on UIMA Ruta, but couldn't find anything wrt to cTAKES specifics. Thanks!
