GATE (the Volkswagen Beetle of Language
Processing) is

Eight years old (!), with 000s of users at 00s of
sites
An architecture A macro-level organisational
picture for LE software systems.
A framework For programmers, GATE is an
object-oriented class library that implements the
architecture.
A development environment For language engineers,
computational linguists et al, a graphical
development environment.
Some free components... ...and wrappers for other
people's components
Tools for evaluation visualise/edit
persistence IR IE dialogue ontologies etc.
Free software (LGPL). Download at

Architectural principles
Non-prescriptive, theory neutral (strength and
weakness)
Re-use, interoperation, not reimplementation
(e.g. diverse XML support, integration of
Protégé, Jena, Weka...)
(Almost) everything is a component, and component
sets are user-extendable
(Almost) all operations are available both from
API and GUI
