Die UIMA Kernkomponenten wurden schon unter der Führung von IBM (damals noch alphaWorks) zu einem hohen Reifegrad hin entwickelt. Bis dato wird UIMA aber hauptsächlich in Forschung und Lehre eingesetzt, so bspw. bei der Universität Jena (JULIE Lab).

Damit das Projekt in Zukunft an Fahrt gewinnen kann muss meiner Meinung nach in das Thema Infrastruktur “investiert” werden. UIMA Komponenten müssen möglichst einfach und zuverlässig (OSGi?) in die Unternehmens-Infrastruktur eingebunden werden. Aufgrund stetig wachsender Informationsmengen muss UIMA das Thema Skalierbarkeit möglichst inherent beherrschen – ein Anfang macht dabei UIMA Asynchronous Scaleout.

* Yahoo BOSS Now Serving 100 Queries Per Second

While Yahoo! was recently struggling with lots of negative issues in terms of their business (who is next Yahoo! CEO?), they kept on publishing and propagating their technologies. According to the Yahoo Search Blog, BOSS is now serving 10 million queries per day! In my opinion Yahoo’s search technology is catching up fast and is far ahead of Google’s APIs.

* If you were ever interested in an UIMA Lucene Cas Consumer, check this out:

at the JULIE Lab, we’ve been working (silently) on a new (and completely
altered) version of our Lucene CAS Indexer consumer (Lucas). We are
planning to make this available soon — preferably in the UIMA sandbox.
In fact, LUCAS now is able to perform offset-based token stream
alignment and merging of UIMA annotations (via position increment) in
the same Lucene field (e.g. “documenttext” or “title”), which we feel is
more appropriate for text indexing — instead of putting each UIMA
annotation into a separate field like the Solr approach (still possible
with the new LUCAS).

* First public release of U-Compare system

I just received a message through the UIMA mailing list about the release of U-Compare. U-Compare is a text mining/NLP software (Java Web Start) which is based upon a library of ready-to-use UIMA components. It allows you the creation of complex workflows, import of custom components and the output of generated data. Exciting, since UIMA applications are still rare!

* Webinar: Open Standards and Semantic Technology

Finally some news from good old germany about the SMILA project!

Last week Apache UIMA released an additional server architecture for a better UIMA integration in enterprise software systems. Important facts:

  • Asynchronous
  • Based on JMS
  • Load Balancing
  • Communication based upon HTTP

These are great news. I’m thinking back 3 years ago when starting a product development powered by UIMA were we had to implement scalability, communication and asynchronous execution by ourselves.

Beside other presentations based upon UIMA from mainly university research projects, we and Textkernel (a company from the netherlands) were the only companies presenting a solution which uses UIMA in a productive way.
