Description

Here is the proposed new wording:

ConceptMapper is a powerful, highly configurable dictionary UIMA-based annotator. Numerous parameters can be used to specify various aspects of the lookup algorithm, input processing and output options. The dictionary structure is flexible, allowing any number synonyms to be associated with an entry, and any number of attributes to be associated with entries or synonyms. Lookup and matching against dictionary entries can be performed against contiguous or non-contiguous blocks of text, and token order independant lookup is also allowed (for example, the tokens "A" "B" would be considered a match against dictionary entry "B" "A"). Additionally, ConceptMapper can be configured to use any tokenizer annotator, enabling tokenization of its dictionaries identically with the input text.
