along with the Feature Structures.

 -- A new set of APIs allowing use of the external shared settings files 
to be used directly, rather than only by overriding UIMA configuration 
parameters. These APIs give direct access by the external settings file's 
key names to the key values.

The Eclipse tooling plugins were updated to work with the current Eclipse (Neon)
release.

[ANNOUNCE] Apache UIMA Java SDK 2.6.0 released

2014-05-13 Thread Marshall Schor
The Apache UIMA Team is pleased to announce the 2.6.0 release of the UIMA Java
SDK version 2.6.0.

Apache UIMA <http://uima.apache.org> is a component architecture and framework
for the analysis of
unstructured content like text, video and audio data.

This release of the UIMA Java SDK supports large memory/ large multi-core 
machines,
with various improvements to synchronization, lock contention, and locality of
reference to optimize
memory bandwidth in the presence of non-uniform memory access speeds.  In
addition, embedders of the framework
can now choose to run initialization of UIMA components that share a common
Resource Manager
and/or common UIMA Context, on multiple threads, concurrently.  CASes which are
not being modified can
be accessed (read-only) by multiple threads, simultaneously.  As usual, this
release also includes some bugs fixes.

This release only includes the UIMA Java SDK, and is backward compatible with
the previous release, except it now requires Java version 1.6 or later.

[ANNOUNCE] Apache UIMA Java SDK 2.3.1 released

2010-12-13 Thread Marshall Schor
The Apache UIMA team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache UIMA Java
SDK, version 2.3.1.

Apache UIMA is a component architecture and framework for the analysis of
unstructured content like text, video and audio data.

This release only includes the UIMA Java SDK, and does not yet have the other
components (UIMA-AS, UIMA-CPP, and the AddOns).
It is backward compatible with the 2.3.0-incubating release; however please note
that UIMA-AS is tied to a specific version of the UIMA Java SDK, and so UIMA-AS
version 2.3.0-incubating continues to require UIMA Java SDK 2.3.0-incubating.

UIMA graduated from the Apache Incubator in March 2010, and we are now making
our first non-incubator release as an official top level project at Apache.

This is mainly a bug fix release, but does include some enhancements: some fixes
for edge cases involving the Results Specification, a performance fix for the
Component Descriptor Editor when editing descriptors which specify remote
components, and several improvements to the CAS editor.  For a complete list
please see the download pages, and click on the RELEASE_NOTES.

[Announce] Apache UIMA 2.3.0 released

2010-01-28 Thread Marshall Schor
The Apache UIMA development community is pleased to announce the release
of version 2.3.0 of UIMA (Unstructured Information Management
Architecture).  Apache UIMA is a framework supporting combining and
reusing components that annotate unstructured information content such
as text, audio, and video.

This release consists of 4 packages:

 - UIMA Java SDK - the base framework, with development tools and examples
 - UIMA-AS (Asynchronous Scalout capability)
 - UIMACPP (c++ support framework, for components written in c++ and
other languages)
 - UIMA Addons - a growing set of annotators and other tools.

This release is generally backwards compatable with previous releases,
except that Java 5 is now the minimum Java level required.

The add-ons package contains many new components and annotators, including:

  - Bean Scripting Framework supporting annotators written in popular
scripting languages
  - Lucas - an interface to using UIMA with Apache Lucene
  - TikaAnnotator - an annotator using the Apache Tika project text
extractors

The UIMA-AS (Asynchronous Scaleout) framework is extensively enhanced
with much more support for error/failure recovery, driven by feedback
from actual use in several large scale deployments (1000's of nodes).
The base framework now supports Java 5 generics, and is enhanced to make
it even more light-weight and efficient; for example, it now supports a
new network serialization format for communicating with remote
annotators using a "delta-CAS" - limiting the response sent to just
those items which have changed.

Full information and summaries of the changes are contained in the
release notes, which you can find on our downloads page - scroll down to
the 2.3.0 release section, and click on the package of interest in the
release notes column.

Apache UIMA welcomes your help.  Any contribution (code, testing,
documentation, bug reporting/fixing) is always appreciated.  For more
information on how to get involved, please visit the website at:

  http://incubator.apache.org/uima

Thank you for your interest in Apache UIMA.

[ANNOUNCE] UIMA-AS (Asynchronous Scaleout) add-on for UIMA, version 2.2.2-incubating, released

2008-07-31 Thread Marshall Schor

The Apache UIMA team is pleased to announce the first release of the UIMA-AS
add-on for UIMA.  (The release number is 2.2.2-incubating to correspond with the
base UIMA level).

UIMA-AS adds a highly flexible, robust, and easy to use scaleout capability to
the core UIMA framework; it can be considered to be a next-generation
replacement for the original CPM (Collection Processing Management) scaleout
that is part of the core UIMA framework.

Now you can selectively scale up (to take advantage of multiple cores) or scale
out (over local and/or wide area networks) just those analytics that need the
scaling, thus allowing optimization of computing resources.  UIMA-AS has been
successfully used on multiple projects, and scaled out to 100's of cores, with
no limit in sight.

It makes use of JMS (Java Messaging Services) and uses Apache ActiveMQ to
support messaging between components.  Already written UIMA Components can take
advantage of UIMA-AS scaleout with no code or component descriptor changes.

There is a short writeup that describes more details about the new capabilities
and how to get started using it, on the UIMA website:
http://incubator.apache.org/uima/doc-uimaas-what.html

UIMA is a component framework supporting integration and deployment of
components for the analysis of unstructured content such as text, audio, and
video; the main web-site is here: http://incubator.apache.org/uima/index.html

Thank you for your interest in Apache UIMA-AS!  We look forward to hearing about
your experience in using this new capability.

--The Apache UIMA Team



INCUBATION DISCLAIMER

Apache UIMA is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF). Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects
until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications,
and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with
other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily
a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does
indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
