[carl mattocks <carlmattocks@gmail.com>]

Hi Folks :
 
Please encourage your OASIS voting representative to participate in the ballot for UIMA specification before the closing Saturday, 28 February 2009 @ 23:45 ET.

As a contributor to the specification I am available to answer any questions they may have. Such as, how it is complementary to SOA-EERP's promotion of knowledge management. As an overview they may find it interesting to note that UIMA stands for the Unstructured Information Management Architecture . The proposed specification defines a standard for data representations, data transport formats, component classes and service interfaces to support the interoperability and integration of text and multi-modal analytics. UIMA is most valuable  for an increasing number of applications designed to analyze content in text, speech, audio or video to extract application-specific semantics. Especially when there is a need to use, reuse and combine independently developed component analytics. UIMA makes it possible to integrate these based on a standard and to use the popular open-source Java (and C++) UIMA framework (http://incubator.apache.org/uima/) to implement and deploy integrated solutions for a wide variety of application domains including: legal, business and government intelligence, human resources, bioinformatics, advanced search and content analysis, the semantic web and many others. 
 
thanks in advance
