Duane:

I was on the UIMA TC and experimented with some open source code .. rather than starting from scratch ... it is all good .. but before you dive into using the code you really need to absorb the model and have a target outcome in mind .

cheers

DN: I have to disagree with this.  I've worked in the commercial software
industry since XML was a recommendation in 1998 and have worked on
numerous solutions around B2B.   The most widely used XML parsers are
FOSS.  Xerces, JDOM et al for Java are driving most large businesses XML
parsing requirements. Almost every language has good XML capabilities.

The main cost of XML interchange is mapping the instance data to the
business services based on its' semantics.

Subject: [ontolog-forum] UIMA
Has anyone on this group got experience with UIMA?  We are contemplating a
project at Uberity that involves using it.
