There was an initial announcement about UIMA by IBM on August 8, 2005 at a now 
defunct URL (that we captured), announcing its availability as open source: 
http://w3.ibm.com/news/w3news/top_stories/2005/08/res_uima.html.     (01)

Unfortunately our report was never publicly released. I can say that generally 
we thought it was useful for what it was trying to do, i.e., act as kind of a 
specialized backplane or bus for transforming unstructured data to structured 
data. And we quoted from an article by Ferrucci and Lally (2004) in Natural 
Language Engineering: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1030325. 
  
Thanks,
Leo    (02)

Is that report confidential?  Are the conclusions confidential?    (05)

Is there anything you (or anybody else at Mitre) could say
about it -- pro, con, or mixed?    (06)
