'''General Architecture for Text Engineering''' or '''GATE''' is a [[Java (programming language)|Java]] suite of tools originally developed at the [[University of Sheffield]] beginning in 1995 and now used worldwide by a wide community of scientists, companies, teachers and students for many [[natural language processing]] tasks, including [[information extraction]] in many languages.<ref>Languages mentioned on http://gate.ac.uk/gate/plugins/ include Arabic, Bulgarian, Cebuano, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Romanian and Russian.</ref>

GATE has been compared to [[NLTK]], [[R (programming language)|R]] and [[RapidMiner]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.b-eye-network.com/view/9516|title=Open Source Text Analytics by Seth Grimes - BeyeNETWORK|access-date=17 December 2016}}</ref> As well as being widely used in its own right, it forms the basis of the KIM semantic platform.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/natural-language-engineering/article/div-classtitlekim-a-semantic-platform-for-information-extraction-and-retrievaldiv/7249CC61F5AB25CBC7AAE182509DFEDE|title=KIM – a semantic platform for information extraction and retrieval|first1=Borislav|last1=Popov|first2=Atanas|last2=Kiryakov|first3=Damyan|last3=Ognyanoff|first4=Dimitar|last4=Manov|first5=Angel|last5=Kirilov|journal=Natural Language Engineering|date=1 September 2004|volume=10|issue=3–4|pages=375–392|access-date=17 December 2016|via=Cambridge Core|doi=10.1017/S135132490400347X|s2cid=5236747}}</ref>

GATE community and research has been involved in several European research projects including: [[Transitioning Applications to Ontologies|TAO]], [[SEKT]], NeOn, Media-Campaign, Musing, [[Service-Finder]], LIRICS and [[KnowledgeWeb Project|KnowledgeWeb]], as well as many other projects.
