Hello,=0A=0ARoberto, thank you for mentioning the drools wrapper for UIMA, =
drools seems to be a very mature and stable system.=0A=0AI'm evaluating dro=
ols for rule based text analysis but I'm missing a key concept. How do you =
model annotation sequences?=A0For instance I want to write a rule:=A0=0A=0A=
If "Mr." is followed by two capitalized tokens and next token isn't "ltd."=
=0Athen we have a person name.=0A=0AI'm not quite familiar with drools and =
I can only think of adding a custom "index" feature to the tokens and write=
 something like:=0A=0Awhen=A0=0AToken with text =3D=3D Mr. and number i=0AT=
oken with capital letter and number i + 1=0A...=0A=0ABut it doesn't look ri=
ght.=0A=0ADoes anyone have any idea how such patterns can be modeled with D=
rools?=0A=0AThank you,=0AYasen=0A
