 <h2><a id="what.is.uima">What is UIMA?</a></h2>

      <p>
   			Unstructured Information Management applications are
 				software systems that analyze large volumes of
 				unstructured information in order to discover knowledge
 				that is relevant to an end user. UIMA is a framework and
 				SDK for developing such applications. An example UIM
 				application might ingest plain text and identify
 				entities, such as persons, places, organizations; or
 				relations, such as works-for or located-at. UIMA enables
 				such an application to be decomposed into components,
 				for example "language identification" -&gt; "language
 				specific segmentation" -&gt; "sentence boundary
 				detection" -&gt; "entity detection (person/place names
 				etc.)". Each component must implement interfaces defined
 				by the framework and must provide self-describing
 				metadata via XML descriptor files. The framework manages
 				these components and the data flow between them.
 				Components are written in Java or C++; the data that
 				flows between components is designed for efficient
 				mapping between these languages. UIMA additionally
 				provides capabilities to wrap components as network
 				services, and can scale to very large volumes by
 				replicating processing pipelines over a cluster of
 				networked nodes.
 			</p>
       <p>
 				Apache UIMA is an Apache-licensed open source
 				implementation of the UIMA specification (that
 				specification is, in turn, being developed concurrently
 				by a technical committee within
 				<a href="http://www.oasis-open.org">OASIS</a>,
 				a standards organization). We invite and encourage you
 				to participate in both the implementation and
 				specification efforts.
 			</p>
       <p>
 				UIMA is a component framework for analysing unstructured
 				content such as text, audio and video. It comprises an
 				SDK and tooling for composing and running analytic
 				components written in Java and C++, with some support
 				for Perl, Python and TCL.
