Boris,

That information is awesome. This will be extremely helpful. Thanks for the 
skype info I will definitely contact you if I have additional questions.

Thanks,
Dave

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
