RE: [uima] RE: UIMA TC - Open Ballot

Dave,

 

Does this work?

 

The Research & Development Department
of Thomson Reuters Professional is successfully using the UIMA CAS XML
and UIMA Type System XML specifications and schemas in accordance with
the conformance clauses specified in the Unstructured Information Management
Architecture 1.0 specification. Our use is based on the Apache UIMA open
source implementation. We developed several component implementations and
use UIMA as a common platform in order to improve reusability of in-house
and third-party components.

Tim, 

This is actually great to have and will help us promote the standard.  Much
appreciated,  Thank you!!

For inclusion in the spec document as a formal, "Statement of Use"
however, we need the brief statement like the ones below  that mentions
conformance to the spec based on using the framework.

-Dave 

Here's general example "Statement of Use" 

===================================== 

Your Organization Name> is successfully using the UIMA CAS XML and

UIMA Type System XML specifications and schemas in accordance with the

conformance clauses specified in the Unstructured Information

Management Architecture 1.0 specification. Our use is based on the

Apache UIMA open source implementation and includes the interoperation

of multiple independent component implementations.

Hi Tim,

R&D has been using UIMA since 2007 for several information extraction
and

text processing projects. We have been pleased with the framework's

performance and usability and we intend to continue our use of UIMA.  In

order to increase reusability of our UIMA components we developed a

group-internal type system.

We also participated in a workshop on UIMA held in conjunction with LREC

2008, May 31, 2008, Marrakech, Morocco:

http://watchtower.coling.uni-jena.de/~coling/uimaws_lrec2008/

Terry Heinze, Marc Light and Frank Schilder (2008). Experiences with UIMA

for online information extraction at Thomson Corporation. In Proceedings
of

the LREC workshop "Towards Enhanced Interoperability for large HLT
systems:

UIMA for NLP, Marrakesh, Morocco.

(A similar workshop was held at the GLDV 2007 spring conference in

Tübingen/Germany, April 11-13, 2007:

http://incubator.apache.org/uima/gldv07.html
)

Please let me know if you need more details on the projects and techniques

we developed.

Thanks,

Frank
