Hi Dave,
what you summarized is correct. On the other hand it is incomplete
and it is not easy to complete this list. The reason is that we
acquired basically every feature that GATE has, as it is embedded in
KIM and even provides the IDE along the normal KIM installation. On
the other hand we contributed to GATE all the ontology related stuff.
So it is getting messy. One of the confusions is based on the fact
that until now KIM ships as a single piece although made of many
parts. This prevents people from seeing the actual modules and how
they interact.
But yes, besides crawling search functionality, extensive semantic
annotation capabilities we can also mention:
identity resolution platform for solving ambiguities of entity
identities based on semantic descriptions and contexts derived from
content
for many solutions we need a customization, as KIM is a platform and
can not serve as an off-the shelf product for all purposes (just for
some).
if you need a more elaborate analysis we talk it over together - feel
free to contact me on skype: borislav.popov

Hello Dave,
Sorry about this late answer, Wednesday was our Independence Day
here in Bulgaria.
I would like to add something to the features listed by Borislav:
- We do use our own web crawlers with KIM, they are not part of the
standard KIM package, but we can provide them.
- With the RSS functionality that is now in development we would
like to export results from queries. Once the user issue a query he
or she will be able to get the updates from it in its RSS browser.
There will be updates because new documents are coming.
- Parallel annotation gives the ability KIM to instantiate a
selected number of GATE pipelines on the same machine. This is
useful in today multi-core world. In KIM 3.0 you can set this option
to "auto" in the config file and KIM will create pipelines that are
equal to the number of CPU cores. In GATE you can do this
programmatically.
- KIM provides search capabilities that combine full text search
data(for example from Lucene) and semantic data though OWLIM. KIM is
well integrated with OWLIM as we also produce OWLIM.
Hope this helps,

As an addendum to my last message, would the following be accurate
based on what I was inquiring about:
GATE
· corpora comprising sets of documents, grouping documents
for the purpose of running uniform processes across them.
· processing resources that manipulate and create
annotations on documents
o Orthomatcher
o Pronominal Coreference
o Tokenizer
o There are many additional resources.
· applications, comprising sequences of processing
resources, that can be applied to a document or corpus.
KIM
· Popularity Timelines
· Ontologies (PROTON + KIMSO + KIMLO)
· KIM World KB
· Web UI
· Lucene – an open-source IR engine by Apache
OVERLAP
· scalable and customizable
· ontology-based information extraction (IE)
· annotation
· document management
· Sesame ontology
· OWLIM Ontology
Hopefully I clarified my own question. Are there additional
features in any of the categories that I have not listed? As
always, thanks for your quick response in regard to this matter.
Dave
