UIMA is (or was) an IBM Research Project for managing "unstructured information" such as free-text. IBM describes UIMA as: 'an open, industrial-strength, scalable and extensible platform for creating, integrating and deploying unstructured information management solutions from combinations of semantic analysis and search components. [...] and makes the core Java framework available as open source 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.' The newly opened source is available at SourceForge."
