Hi, I thought we discussed this already, mostly concluding UIMA was an IBM-proprietary bear that's not only far from a standard at this point, but not that promising and therefore not worth pursuing. But it could be that we didn't actually have that discussion on this mailing list: I may have had it in private with a couple of friends who use Solr instead. Does anyone else remember discussing it here, perhaps among the committers before we had the public solr-dev mailing list?

I don't know if "standard" is the correct word, but [1] mentions an IBM product that "exposes the UIMA interfaces", so there must be an API of some kind. But it's not too easy to gather from that website, exactly what this API is ;-( From [2] it seems like one of the main goals is to allow analysis engines to be plugged in on the way to indexation, to add metadata to what they call "Common Analysis Structure" objects. That page also links to a (364 pages long...)
