UIMA project @IBM

http://www.research.ibm.com/UIMA/

UIMA stands for the *Unstructured Information Management Architecture*.

It is an open, industrial-strength, scaleable and extensible *platform*
for creating, integrating and deploying unstructured information
management solutions from combinations of semantic analysis and search
components.

IBM makes UIMA available as a free SDK
<http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/uima>, and makes the core Java
framework available as open source
<http://uima-framework.sourceforge.net/> software to provide a common
foundation for industry and academia to collaborate and accelerate the
world-wide development of technologies critical for *discovering* the
vital *knowledge *present in the fastest growing sources of information
today.
