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
