Hi, The getting started guide Chad mentioned is pretty good for vanilla UIMA. If you would like to avoid all the xml descriptors and rather do things programmatically with UIMA+uimafit, you could look into the uimafit documentation right away. It also has a brief getting started guide. https://uima.apache.org/d/uimafit-current/tools.uimafit.book.html#ugr.tools.uimafit.gettingstarted
And then there's also DKPro - an ecosystem of NLP components and resources built on top of UIMA + uimafit - which has great documentation and tutorials: https://dkpro.github.io/dkpro-core/ Have fun, Oliver -----Original Message----- From: Reinhard Erich Voglmaier [mailto:reinhard.e.voglma...@gsk.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2017 9:44 AM To: user@uima.apache.org Subject: Starter Kit Dear All, since a while I am listening at the user group and trying to start use of UIMA.
