Re: What does 'project sponsorship' mean now?
On 7/5/2012 9:31 AM, Benson Margulies wrote: A thread on the subject of EasyAnt highlighted some perplexity for me, and I think that it deserves a thread of its own. Once upon a time, the Foundation had a set of 'Umbrella projects'. These were PMCs that managed a collection of 'sub-projects', each considered a relatively independent community. A few years ago, the board concluded that this wasn't working, and asked the umbrella projects to fission. At this time, that process is pretty nearly complete. It seems to me that the concept of 'project sponsorship' of podlings is left over from the days of umbrellas -- a podling sponsored by an umbrella would graduate as a subproject of the umbrella. If this logic is correct, then it would seem that project sponsorship is no longer relevant, and we could remove it from documentation. Either a podling is going to become a TLP, in which case project sponsorship is irrelevant, or it's going to merge into some existing TLP, in which case I claim that the TLP could handle the process without the overhead of a podling at all. We have an IP clearance process, and TLP's are free to create sandboxes in source control and grant commit karma to them as a means of integrating an incoming group. One use-case for a podling that might be destined for an existing TLP: if the podling needs to grow community/committers, and/or learn how to work in the Apache way, then living in the incubator may tend to these needs better than joining a TLP. This may be particularly the case where the podling is implementing some new thing that the TLP project's existing committers may not have enough time/interest in to dig into the code, although they could see it as a valuable addition. -Marshall Schor - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

Thanks! Jörn = OpenNLP Proposal = The following is a proposal for a new top-level project within the ASF. == Abstract == OpenNLP is a Java machine learning toolkit for natural language processing (NLP). == Proposal == OpenNLP is a machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text. It supports the most common NLP tasks, such as tokenization, sentence segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, named entity extraction, chunking, parsing, and coreference resolution. These tasks are usually required to build more advanced text processing services. The goal of the OpenNLP project will be to create a mature toolkit for the abovementioned tasks. An additional goal is to provide a large number of pre-built models for a variety of languages, as well as the annotated text resources that those models are derived from. == Background == OpenNLP was started in 2000 by Jason Baldridge and Gann Bierner while they were graduate students in the Division of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. OpenNLP, broadly speaking, was meant to be a high-level organizational unit for various open source software packages for natural language processing; more practically, it provided a high-level package name for various Java packages of the form opennlp.*. The first OpenNLP software package was the Grok natural language parsing toolkit, which was also the genesis of what is now called the OpenNLP Toolkit. The software released on the OpenNLP sourceforge site (started in 2000, along with Grok) was simply a set of interfaces defined in the package opennlp.common and referred to as the OpenNLP Java API. The actual implementations of natural language processing components were provided in Grok, along with code for sentence parsing with Combinatory Categorial Grammar. This code was used heavily in both Baldridge's and Biern er's dissertations. The first paper that used Grok, and especially the components that would become the OpenNLP Toolkit is [[http://comp.ling.utexas.edu/jbaldrid/papers/hockenmaier_etal_ESSLLI2000.pdf|Hockenmaier, Bierner and Baldridge (2000)]] (later updated as the journal article [[http://comp.ling.utexas.edu/jbaldrid/papers/HockenmaierEtal2004.pdf|Hockenmaier, Bierner, and Baldridge (2004)]]). In 2003, it was decided to remove the NLP infrastructure from Grok as there was a clear separation between the basic text processing components and the syntactic and semantic analysis components. At the same time, Grok was rebranded as OpenCCG (openccg.sf.net). The final release of the OpenNLP Java API was made in March 2003; the new OpenNLP Toolkit was created from the API and the Grok text processing components, with version 1.0 being released in April 2004. The OpenNLP Toolkit and OpenCCG have evolved independently since then and have mostly independent and active developer and user communities. OpenCCG is primarily used in the academic community, while OpenNLP has considerable use in both academia and industry. As in indication of the academic impact of OpenNLP, a search on Google scholar (done in March 2010) returned about 650 publications citing the package. Some of these include the OpenNLP website and a few non-publications plus some self-citations. Based on a scan of these results, we estimate that about 500 actual publications have used OpenNLP in their work, and there are an addition 50 or so quasi-publications like surveys and instruction manuals. The activity level of the OpenNLP project has fluctuated over that past 10+ years, with a large uptick in the last two years especially. Most recently, due both to the availability of new documentation and the release of version 1.5 , there have been many more downloads and page views for the OpenNLP project. In fact, September 2010 had the most downloads (1,561) and project web hits (226,391) of any month since the project's beginning in 2000, and October is keeping pacing with that figure so far. As a result, OpenNLP has gone from being in the 2000th to 4000th ranked project (between January and May, 2010) to being ranked 570, 314, 181 and 439 for July, August, September, and October respectively. Full details are available on the Sourceforge statistics page for OpenNLP. (There are 240,000 projects hosted on SourceForge, though this figure

[Announce] Apache UIMA 2.3.0 released
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.

[VOTE] Release UIMA 2.3.0-rc9
Hi everyone, The UIMA community has voted on and approved the release of Apache UIMA 2.3.0, consisting of - base UIMA - the UIMA-AS add-on to the base (incorporating ActiveMQ and adding Asynchronous Scaleout capability - UIMACPP - the C++ support - UIMA-Addons - a subset of components from the UIMA Sandbox The vote was +1 from all committers and 1 mentor; no other votes were cast. We now request the approval of the Incubator PMC for this release. Podling vote thread: http://markmail.org/thread/osrpk5skilchagi6 Release artifacts: http://people.apache.org/~schor/uima-release-candidates/2.3.0-RC9/ (includes RAT reports) SVN root nodes: base UIMA: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/uimaj/tags/uimaj-2.3.0/uimaj-2.3.0-09 UIMA-AS: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/uima-as/tags/uima-as-2.3.0/uima-as-2.3.0-09 UIMA-Addons: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/sandbox/tags/sandbox-2.3.0/sandbox-2.3.0-09 UIMACPP: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/uimacpp/tags/uimacpp-2.3.0-09 UIMA-AS continues to be registered as a 5D002 export artifact (due to including ActiveMQ) - and no other components are currently required to be so designated; see http://www.apache.org/licenses/exports/ The source distributions are built with scripts, and differ somewhat from the SVN source trees. The various distributions are built using the Maven assembly plugin; the scripts for build the source distribution are found here: base UIMA: uimaj-distr/src/main/assembly/src.xml UIMA-AS: uima-as-distr/src/main/assembly/src.xml UIMA-Addons: SandboxDistr/annotator-package/src/main/assembly/src.xml The UIMACPP source package is built in a different manner for Windows and *nix packaging; some of the make configuration is pre-done for each of these packagings and included in the source distribution. The scripts for building the source are in buildSrcTree.cmd (Windows) and buildSrcTree.sh (*nix) In addition to the source bundles, this release includes (as before) binary downloads for direct use by users; these include html/pdf versions of documentation and javadocs. The builds (except for UIMACPP) have been changed to use the Maven RAT (Release Audit Tool) plugin. The POMs for the 3 distribution projects (uimaj-distr, uima-as-distr, and SandboxDistr/annotationPackage) document the list of exceptions for the RAT tool (mostly things like generated files or test data). KEYS: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/uimaj/trunk/uimaj-distr/src/main/readme/KEYS The release is signed by Marshall Schor except for UIMACPP which is signed by Edward Epstein.

[ANNOUNCE] UIMA-AS (Asynchronous Scaleout) add-on for UIMA, version 2.2.2-incubating, released
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 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!

Niall Pemberton wrote: I tried running mvn:site on the source distro, but it failed generating the javadocs because the uimaj-as pom.xml specifies source1.4/source for the javadoc plugin and there are JDK 1.5+ features used. When I changed that to 1.5 the javadocs generation then failed throwing a MissingResourceException with the message Can't find resource for bundle com.sun.tools.doclets.formats.html.resources.standard, key doclet.malformed_html_link_tag - in the uimaj-ep-runtime-deployeditor module - unfortunately doesn't indicate which class is causing that. IMO this is not a showstopper (would be nice to fix for the next release) and the main build (mvn:install) works fine and everything looks like it is in place - so +1 from me for the release. Niall Hi Niall - We haven't (yet) adopted the maven way to generating a site. So I'm not surprised that that didn't work. We generate our javadocs as part of the mvn assembly:assembly (in the uima-as-dist dir) done after a mvn install (in the uimaj-as dir). This process is consistent with how the other projects build their javadocs for binary distros, in the UIMA project. We'll take a look at the maven site goal and see if it makes sense to support it. -Marshall On Mon, Jun 30, 2008 at 8:57 PM, Marshall Schor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Everyone, Please review and vote on approving the 1st release of Apache UIMA-AS, an add-on to base UIMA.

hit counters for incubating web sites
Various posts in the past have expressed interest in collecting statistics on usage, or downloads. Previous replies have pointed out that counting downloads is inaccurate, because Apache licensed components can be redistributed by others, and the Apache mirroring system means that most downloads occur from non-Apache machines. We would like to get some statistical information about downloads, and are thinking that counting clicks on the download button(s) would be a good way (it would avoid the problem of missing mirroring). Although not perfect (it would miss repackaging/redistribution, and other sites which link to a download page other than our own), we think it would be somewhat useful, at least as a lower bound of interest. Vadim Gritsenko has a stats site on people.a.o, looking at downloads by extracting data from web server logs. He has said, however, that he won't track individual incubator projects, just TLP. See http://people.apache.org/~vgritsenko/stats/index.html and http://people.apache.org/~vgritsenko/faq.html . Most of the hit counters out there seem to be snippets of html you add to your web page, which go off to someone else's server, where the counting happens. Is there a service running on an apache server (e.g., people.a.o), which we can use for hit-counting? If so, can someone post the html needed to use it? -Marshall - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[GUIDANCE] When should we start to follow new incubator policy on where to post releases?
Apache UIMA just passed its release vote; where should we post the release? A recent change to the incubator policy resulted in the page http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html saying that distributions *must* be from www.a.o/dist/incubator/podling-name. The www.a.o/dist site on people.a.o doesn't have an incubator subdirectory. So it looks like we might be the first incubator project since this policy was enacted., unless implementation of this policy is being delayed. Can someone on the IPMC let us know if the implementation is being delayed? Assuming we should be following this new policy now, should we ask infra to establish the new dist/incubator directory and also ... /dist/incubator/uima (or do we have the karma to do this ourselves)? If we do this, because things posted here are mirrored, as I understand it, we need to update our download page to properly handle directing downloaders to the mirrors. Some of us have read the docs on how to do this, and we can give it a go - but we would appreciate some oversight by an experienced person :-). Any volunteers? The policy page doesn't say what, if anything, we need to do at this time for our previous releases - my preference would be to just leave things as they are, for now, for those.

IMO, it is and should contain appropriate license/ notice/disclaimer. I agree with Kevan. I don't agree with this standpoint as for instance the LICENSE and DISCLAIMER docs can be automatically included into the correct distribution location from officially released bundles. This makes much more sense as it keeps the definition of those documents in one place. This process is repeatable using maven. IMO SVN does not have to mirror an unzipped release (there is no policy directing that, or if there is, please provide a link), as long as it is reproducible from the release tag. I have asked about this on the legal discuss list. Regardless of the outcome, I think that there are problems with generating the NOTICE and LICENSE files automatically. Unless the project is pure ASF, there are additional items that may need to be added to the N L files. In any case, I think it's important that these files are carefully considered to ensure that the required entries are present. This is difficult if not impossible if the contents of the N L files are automatically generated. Just to be clear, in the case of UIMA, these files are *not* being generated (that is, their contents are not being generated) automatically. The only thing that is happening is that our automated build process for building the binary and source distributions from our SVN has a step which copies these files from where they reside in our SVN to the top level, as required in the distribution. The N L files are unlikely to change frequently, so it really does not save much work (if any) to create them by hand. Having them in the top-level SVN directory seems sensible to me. The tools we use for development (Eclipse, mainly) like to have files in projects; we have adopted an organization where our SVN follows this convention. So, for us, it is more convenient to have these files in SVN inside one of our Eclipse projects, where we can then use the standard tooling for maintaining them. -Marshall Martijn -- Buy Wicket in Action: http://manning.com/dashorst Apache Wicket 1.3.0-rc2 is released Get it now: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/wicket/1.3.0-rc1/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Doing a release which includes an Eclipse update site
In our next release of Apache UIMA from the incubator, we would like to include an additional packaging of some of our Eclipse tooling as an Eclipse update site. This is a location, reachable via http, which Eclipse can use to download Eclipse plugins. Doing this solves a long-standing complaint because this method does version / dependency checking for other needed Eclipse plugins. Several projects at Apache make use of Eclipse update sites; all of them (I think) host them off of their project web sites. This is what we would like to do.

Re: Doing a release which includes an Eclipse update site
Thanks, Erik. It makes sense to me to have the update site under the dist/ directory, since it is a kind of distribution. I see there was an update to the page http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html about a month ago which added the information that incubator podling releases *must* be on http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/---podlingname--- So I'll make our update site have the form: www.a.o/dist/incubator/uima/ I see in geronimo/eclipse/updates/plugins the jars for the plugins, plus the .asc, md5, and .sha files. How are the .asc, md5, .sha files used? Does the Eclipse update-site signing mechanism interface with these files? By the way, I looked at www.a.o/dist/incubator, and it appears that the incubator tree has not yet been set up (I get a URL Not Found). Am I looking in the wrong spot, or have there been no incubator releases since this policy change? -Marshall Erik Abele wrote: On 29.11.2007, at 22:41, Marshall Schor wrote: In our next release of Apache UIMA from the incubator, we would like to include an additional packaging of some of our Eclipse tooling as an Eclipse update site.

Signing Java Jars, versus Apache Signing of distributed artifacts
I'm no expert in signing, but am looking into alternatives. This is what I've found, so far. Apache projects sign their distributable artifacts; see http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html For artifacts which are Jars, there is another standard for signing which is supported by Java itself, in that the signed Jar can be verified when loaded. This kind of signing requires, besides the private key, a certificate authority which indicates who owns the key. See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/intro.html Apache signing, to my knowledge, doesn't require use of a certificate authority. In looking at several projects placing Jars in Maven repositories, they appear to be signing Jars using the Apache signing, not the Java Jar signing mechanism. Maven (I believe) supports this. Eclipse, as of release 3.3 (just out), has moved to a posture of signing all of its Jars using the Java mechanisms, see http://wiki.eclipse.org/JAR_Signing There are some issues to signing Jars with Java's approach - in terms of performance impacts. These are documented here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Performance_Bloopers#JAR_signing_and_verification Eclipse avoids these performance impacts by not using the popular Java class loaders built on the URLClassLoader. I'd be interested to learn if others have gone down the Java JAR signing path, and if so, - is it considered an OK alternative to Apache signing, - how did you get a certificate authority to verify ownership of your signing key - how did you avoid performance issues If not - does anyone know if the Eclipse update site mechanism supports the Apache-style signing mechanism, or can be made to support this? (The Eclipse update site mechanism checks if the artifacts have been signed, and if so, verifies them, prior to installing them. But I believe it only works with Java JAR signed objects - but I could be mistaken).

Re: Signing Java Jars, versus Apache Signing of distributed artifacts
Craig L Russell wrote: Hi Marshall, When I looked into Java signing and found it to be too burdensome. There are two basic issues with it that made me think that it wasn't suitable for use with Apache projects: 1. The certificates are the keys to the kingdom. Whoever has the ability to use the certificates warrants the contents of the jar, so the certificates need to be kept secret. It's not practical for Apache projects to have secrets like this, so each individual would need their own certificate. I don't quite follow. My understanding is that the signing key can be like Apache's signing keys - each person can have their own individual signing key, just like Apache ones. The difference is that there is an additional step where you have to get the key certified by a certificate authority. I think that, at verification time, this authority is contacted to verify the signing key is owned by the alleged owner. Did you mean by your comment that the part of the Apache license (Section 7), Disclaimer of Warranty, is inconsistent with Jar signing, because the signer warrants the contents of the Jar? 2. The runtime cost of checking the certificate every time the jar is used. Right- so this would need to be examined. For Jars packaged for use by Eclipse (say, for instance, doing an Eclipse Update Site for Eclipse plugins that might be a part of your project, Eclipse seems to have solved this problem in how they use class loaders (see references in originial note).

We're curious to see how many downloads we're getting, perhaps sorted by ip number or who's downloading (I realize that would need be volunteered information).

I give this release a +1 (but realize somebody might authoritatively say that the copyright in the overview doc needs to change). We are of course happy to do whatever is correct here. The rationale for doing it this way was 2-fold. First: although *source code* no longer is supposed to have copyright statements in the headers (it only has license statements); the documentation (when formatted as a book for printing) traditionally has copyright statements. Second: the documentation is often printed into a book (it has a table of contents, page numbers, etc.,). As such it would be somewhat more likely to be independently distributed than source code. If we are going to put copyright statements in the book, it seemed appropriate to include the copyright statement that would have otherwise been in the notices file.

You would need to get those artifacts into the staging area as well so we can look at and vote on them. A quick look reveals: We currently have no plans to release anything to the maven repository. Hopefully in the future sometime, but not for this release. 1) The jars don't have the incubator disclaimer in them. (this is the critical one) I see. I didn't think this was required, but I understand it makes sense when individual jars are downloadable from the maven repo. We'll make sure to have the disclaimer in there before we release anything to the maven repository. 2) The name for jVinci doesn't have Apache UIMA in it. 3) The poms don't have a licenses section 4) The organization tag doesn't have a url to apache.org All of these make sense, even if we're not distributing anything via maven repos (yet). Will fix. Thanks for taking the time to look at our release candidate. --Thilo So, I'm +1 (non-binding) on these exact distributions, but -1 if there are maven artifacts that are supposed to be deployed along with it.

Packaging for distribution - replacement for InstallShield functionality?
I know that Apache projects like to release source code distributions but some projects also like to include binary (pre-built) distributions as well. In pre-Apache versions of UIMA, for instance, we used Installshield to create one-click (well, maybe 3-click) installers for Windows and Linux systems. Is there an Apache favorite, open-source equivalent to Installshield - something that runs on many platforms, asks the user to accept a license and specify an install directory, and then unzips and perhaps runs some kind of post-install script to configure things? -Marshall - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Weirdness with the web site
The referred to email 13-oct points to this JIRA issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-881 This says there are some problems with line ends when tools are used to generate websites. I tried an experiment: we have a XDOC-style website. I scanned our XDOC source files and found they were all using x'0A' (unix) line ends (except for one file). On my windows machine, I changed a file that had'0A' line ends to x'0D0A' line ends, using the Eclipse menu feature under the menu file-convert line end delimiters to I checked this using the Eclipse search to look for the x'0D' characters - they were there whereas they were not there before I ran the command. Then I generated the website .html files by running XDOC's build.xml ant script. The generated files showed that one file had changed but it had x'0A' (unix) line ends, not Windows line ends. In fact, in order to get it to change at all, I had to actually change some text. Just changing the line-end style did not cause the XDOC processing to update the target html file. So - if you're using XDOC to generate the files, perhaps the generated files are going to be OK. -Marshall Gwyn Evans wrote: On 11/11/06, Noel J.

Re: New Name for UIMA Podling?
The most popular way to pronounce UIMA is you-eee-muh. There is a fairly large user community using pre-Apache UIMA. The potential confusion about which UIMA people may be talking about may be mitigated somewhat by versioning. The pre-Apache releases are numbered 1.x.x; the Apache ones will be numbered as 2.x.x and higher. (We are showing a beta level of 2.x in pre-Apache form, but will transition users as rapidly as possible to the the Apache one, once we get set up and going in Apache). If we rename it, this might cause some confusion itself - it would appear that there were 2 different things, rather than one thing that was moving from its previous environment to Apache. I'm not sure what would be more confusing - having a new name, or having users understand that the project has moved to Apache. I agree it's good to avoid creating the impression of having Apache becoming a BigCo shill. But I'm not sure renaming will do very much for this point, one way or another. For what its worth, I'm slightly on the side of thinking it's less confusing (especially to the existing users) to keep the name. -Marshall Schor Rodent of Unusual Size wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Mads Toftum wrote: +1 - there seems to have started some sort of fascination with changing names where there is no need.

I'm also wary of retaining names for projects that have had an existence prior to Apache. One reason is possible IP issues, and another is confusion.

Re: New Name for UIMA Podling?
The name UIMA has built up some amount of name recognition in the community where it is being adopted, so there's some advantage to not changing it. It also has an advantage of being rather short. For our project files currently on SourceForge, we used as a naming root uimaj - the j being appended to indicate the Java version of the framework. We also have a C++ enablement layer, which is part of what we'll be bringing into the incubator. These we currently manage as 2 independent but coordinated projects, from a release standpoint. Over time, we might see other implementations of the UIMA framework, in other languages (C# / .net for instance). To start, my sense is to try and keep things simple, and have one project, under one name - but thinking ahead, it's nice if that can change when and if needed into some kind of a small hierarchy of related projects, with related names. -Marshall Schor - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PROPOSAL] UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture) Framework
interoperability and application composition that will provide this needed unifying standard, and allow a variety of framework implementations to exist, while preserving the goal of unstructured information analytic component reuse. UIMA was built to help developers create solutions that get more value from unstructured information more quickly and at lower cost by making it easy to reuse and combine analytic modules from different sources into new analytic applications. The architecture and the framework have been validated through work with USA's DARPA which is using it as a standard for key projects with several universities involved in advanced linguistics analysis, such as Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Stanford and University of Massachusetts. Other companies, such as the Mayo Clinic and Sloan Kettering, are also building efforts around UIMA. In addition, over 15 software vendors, including companies such as Inxight, Attensity, ClearForest, Temis, SPSS, SAS, Cognos, Endeca, Factiva and others, announced plans to support UIMA. The UIMA framework (binary and/or source code) has been downloaded over 8000 times from IBM alphaWorks (http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/uima) or SourceForge (http://uima-framework.sourceforge.net). Rationale: We believe that moving the UIMA framework development to the Apache development community will lead to faster innovation, better integration with other open source software, and broader adoption of UIMA, accelerating the industry's ability to get the most value from text, audio, and video content. The UIMA framework is becoming attractive to developers who want to build components; we believe that having UIMA on Apache will encourage the development of a basic set of open source components that will jumpstart these developers' efforts. One of the first components we see possible synergy with is a search component based on Apache Lucene that would enable semantic search. We like the concept of the Lucene Sandbox as a way to encourage innovation around UIMA, and would envision something similar for this project. Initial Goals: Some initial work we see in the incubator includes the following: * redoing the parts of the tooling that were done as derivative works of Eclipse source code, to enable everything to be licensable under the Apache license * extending the framework to better support scale-out * extending the framework to better align with the emerging UIMA Standards work * extending the framework to support XMI-based SOAP and/or other service interfaces * extending the framework to support OSGi-based approaches to componentization and packaging * exploring embeddings of the framework within other interested Apache projects, including synergies with Lucene * providing aids to the community to migrate from previous versions of the framework to the Apache version * setting up community support: hosting a facility similar to the Lucene Sandbox to encourage innovation and experimentation; establishing a wiki and some process to allow better documentation to be developed by the community, and linking our existing XHTML documentation via an XSL transform to Apache FOP Current Status: * Meritocracy: Meritocracy seems to us an ideal way to grow the community of developers around UIMA, it being a controlled, rational way to give those who positively contribute, more ability to directly contribute. This approach also gives contributors one of the best reasons to join the community of volunteers - to be recognized for the merit of their contributions. * Community: Currently, the UIMA Framework development is being done by IBM, with input from a group of early adopters in industry and government. Going forward, we see IBM continuing to support several committers working on it. We have already begun talking with other people outside of IBM that have expressed interest in contributing towards the development. This includes members of academic institutions, people working for some of the software vendors that have announced plans to support UIMA, and others from companies that have expressed interest since initial announcements about our open source plans. Multiple non-IBM people have already expressed desires to become committers. * Core Developers: The previous core developers of UIMA are Adam Lally, Thilo Goetz, Marshall Schor, Edward Epstein, Jaroslaw Cwiklik and Thomas Hampp. Many others have also contributed. The developers come from both the Research and Development parts of IBM. * Alignment: UIMA has significant synergy with search applications, and we expect to see integration with Lucene in the future. UIMA makes use of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) for C++ support. It is designed to be embeddable into other frameworks, such as web application servers. Part of UIMA is Eclipse-based tooling. We use ANT for build scripting. UIMA has support for various language bindings including C

Re: [PROPOSAL] UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture) Framework
Hello, everyone. In conjunction with our proposal to Apache for the UIMA framework, we have submitted a Charter to develop a community based standard for the UIMA Specification (not implementation) to OASIS (www.oasis-open.org). OASIS is a standards development organization with a good track record for developing and promoting open standards around many things including XML processing, SOA, document management and web services. The UIMA Specification is intended to parallel the efforts of the open-source UIMA Java Framework implementation. It is a platform-independent specification intended to facilitate interoperability of text and multi-modal analytics across modalities, platforms and frameworks. The Apache proposal for the UIMA framework references this work, and would comply with this standard. (A rough analogy might be the Apache web server as the Apache project, and the HTTP protocol standard from W3C as the corresponding standards work). If you are interested in developing the UIMA Specification standard, can commit to participating in the technical committee and want to be one of its founding members, you can do so by following the standard OASIS process for this. The first step would be to become a member of OASIS ( http://www.oasis-open.org/join/categories.php) by October 5th (if you're not already a member :-), and to let us know of your intent to be a founding member; we already have four others from different organizations/companies signed up as founding members. On October 5 there will be an open Call For Participation to OASIS members for participation in the UIMA Technical Committee. The founding membership must be formed before October 5th. -Marshall Schor - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PROPOSAL] UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture) Framework
Hello everyone, I'm restarting this thread on the Unstructured Information Management Architecture implementation (UIMA) framework, in the hopes of moving this along better; this time it also has the prefix [PROPOSAL] which I had left out due to over-excitement at doing my first posting to this list :-) . Please consider this proposal (on the incubator wiki because it is quite long: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/UimaProposal ), and help us move it along toward getting it voted on by the Incubator PMC. Two important clarifying emails (as well as the whole previous thread) can be found here: http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Proposal-for-a-new-incubation-project%3A-Unstructured-Information-Management-Architecture---UIMA-p5987788.html and http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Proposal-for-a-new-incubation-project%3A-Unstructured-Information-Management-Architecture---UIMA-p5986403.html (These are also hyperlinks in the wiki to these at the end of the first small section.) -Marshall Leo Simons wrote: On Fri, Aug 25, 2006 at 06:04:04PM +0200, Thilo Goetz wrote: snip/ I hope this gives you a better idea what UIMA is about Yep, this and other explanations made it a lot clearer, thanks!

Great, I think this is something I'd like to get involved in! I've been thinking about how Solr integration could work. You then also need a search engine that can index that extra information and make it available for search. Without getting into too much detail here, some info could be immediately usable by Lucene based apps (like entity extraction, where you can add info via a new field in the document). Parts-of-speech type of stuff is currently more difficult of course. -Yonik - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PROPOSAL] UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture) Framework
Hi, and thanks for taking the time to read all the emails on this. Here's some answers to your questions, below. Otis Gospodnetic wrote: Having finally read all the emails related to this proposal, I'm very much for this puppy entering ASF and eventually getting it going with Lucene and friends. A few questions. 1. What you are proposing for ASF is the UIMA 2.0 code that currently lives on SF, correct? Yes, that is correct. 2. What about the SDK, and could you tell me/us what's in the SDK that is not in the SF code? (I'm confused, because your proposal includes references to tools for development and design of UIMA components, but doesn't that typically live in an SDK?) The only other thing in the SDK that is not coming to Apache is a version of a semantic search engine (and some associated components) that can index both keywords, and also labeled spans containing the keywords; this is because Apache already has Lucene, and that engine is a good candidate for extension in this manner. The SDK includes tooling and examples; those are coming. In addition, we're bringing the framework test cases. 3. I'm a bit puzzled why something that sounds like a framework/pipeline for hooking up components with pre-defined input/output adapters ends up with with a 400 page user guide/book. Perhaps I should present this as a question. How come? Or is that user guide for the SDK only? There are several reasons for this. One reason is that the book's first part is actually a general introduction to the rationale behind the framework, followed by a tutorial (chapters 4-7). Our target audience were mainly Researchers who worked down in the depths of analytic algorithms, and who didn't necessarily spend much time keeping up to date with newer technologies for building software applications. So we found ourselves giving tutorials, and decided it would be good to include those in the big book. Besides the framework, we have some tooling (both Eclipse IDE based, and stand alone); there are chapters on these tools and how to use them. The architecture includes the idea of specifying lots of meta-data about the components, in XML, and our early users had a lot of trouble getting the XML right. So we built an Eclipse editor for editing the XML which does a whole bunch of consistency checking, and presents a visual model to the user describing the component meta-data in a friendlier way than just XML. The chapter describing this tool is one of the larger ones. Finally, when you get into the details, you'll find there's more to this than it first appears :-). Does that help explain the manual length? -Marshall Schor Otis - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Incubator Lightning Talks at ApacheCon US?
I added the UimaProposal to the wiki list of Lightning Talks. Who knows, maybe by ApacheCon time, we'll even be a new Podling. Explaining it in 5 minutes will be a good challenge :-) -Marshall Schor - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

of potential issues by noticing trends in various kinds of things being reported. - We're not trying to re-invent the semantic web movement. However, we think UIMA might enable some aspects of it, by allowing the flourishing of a rich set of unstructured information analysis components, within the community. -Marshall Leo Simons wrote: Hi Marshall!

We propose a project to develop, implement, support and enhance UIMA framework implementations that comply with the UIMA standard (being put forward concurrently for standardization within OASIS http://www.oasis-open.org - not yet submitted, but we plan to do this early in September.). snip/ Motivation for UIMA: Databases are core components of nearly all applications; they store information in structured tables. But more and more of the available digital data is unstructured (e.g. email, web documents, images, audio clips, video streams) with little information (metadata) attached to explain its content or context. Although many applications have been built to process unstructured data, they have either managed it as a BLOB or they have developed isolated applications for analyzing the content. In the absence of a standardized means for analytical applications to share insights extracted from the content, analytical applications cannot build upon one another. As a result, the industry has barely begun to tap the value locked in unstructured information. snip/ What does it *do*? How does it *work*? I understand there's a runtime and a framework and a standardization process and a component-based interoperability goal, but what I don't understand is what they are *for*. Can you please write a paragraph or two, that 1) doesn't mention what the industry is doing or needs to do 2) doesn't mention frameworks, standards, or current problematic industry practices, SOA, SOAP, DARPA, OASIS, or other acronyms 3) outlines what problem this UIMA thing is meant to solve 4) outlines what the approach is to solving that problem 5) outlines how this turns into software 6) gives an example or even two of such software in use in the real world to solve some kind of tangible problem For example, one kind of unstructured information is the web, and one way to process that is as plain text, indexing it, create a keyword-based search engine, and then there's also fancier ways such as all the things that google does. And then there's also various ways to make the unstructured mess that is the web more structured by attaching metadata, eg dublin core metadata or the whwole semantic web thing, so right now I might walk away with the understanding that you're devising a way for google and yahoo to interop (which I doubt they really want) by re-inventing the semantic web movement (which I doubt is really productive). Enlighten me, please. If it helps, imagine I'm 12 and write PHP and have difficulty with words such as interoperability since English is not my first language. cheers, LSD - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Proposal for a new incubation project: Unstructured Information Management Architecture - UIMA
' efforts. One of the first components we see possible synergy with is a search component based on Apache Lucene that would enable semantic search. We like the concept of the Lucene Sandbox as a way to encourage innovation around UIMA, and would envision something similar for this project. Some initial work we see in the incubator include the following: * redoing the parts of the tooling that were done as derivative works of Eclipse source code, to enable everything to be licensable under the Apache license * extending the framework to better support scale-out * extending the framework to better align with the emerging UIMA Standards work * extending the framework to support XMI-based SOAP and/or other service interfaces * extending the framework to support OSGi-based approaches to componentization and packaging * exploring embeddings of the framework within other interested Apache projects, including synergies with Lucene * providing aids to the community to migrate from previous versions of the framework to the Apache version * setting up community support: hosting a facility similar to the Lucene Sandbox to encourage innovation and experimentation; establishing a wiki and some process to allow better documentation to be developed by the community, and linking our existing XHTML documentation via an XSL transform to Apache FOP ? Section 0.1 : Criteria ? Community: Currently, the UIMA Framework development is being done by IBM, with input from a group of early adopters in industry and government. Going forward, we see IBM continuing to support several committers working on it. We have already begun talking with other people outside of IBM that have expressed interest in contributing towards the development. This includes members of academic institutions, people working for some of the software vendors that have announced plans to support UIMA, and others from companies that have expressed interest since initial announcements about our open source plans. Multiple non-IBM people have already expressed desires to become committers. ? Core Developers: The previous core developers of UIMA are Adam Lally, Thilo Goetz, Marshall Schor, Edward Epstein, Jaroslaw Cwiklik and Thomas Hampp. Many others have also contributed. ? Alignment: UIMA has significant synergy with search applications, and we expect to see integration with Lucene in the future. UIMA makes use of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) for C++ support. It is designed to be embeddable into other frameworks, such as web application servers. Part of UIMA is Eclipse-based tooling. We use ANT for build scripting. UIMA has support for various language bindings including C++ and Java; we also have more limited bindings for Perl, Python, and TCL. UIMA uses Web Services as part of its approach to wiring up components in its domain. It makes use of XML services such as Xerces and Xalan. ? License: The current license for the source code is CPL, with a small number of files licensed under the EPL (Eclipse Public License), because these were created as derivative works of existing Eclipse open source code. When the code base is moved to Apache, it will be relicensed under the Apache license, except for the small number of files licensed under the EPL as derivative works of Eclipse source files. We plan to work in the incubator to redo these parts, so the entire offering can be licensed under the Apache license. The distribution for the C++ enablement layer includes open source components ICU (a Unicode package) which has its own license. We plan to work with community to properly make use of this non-Apache licensed component. Our current vision for the future of UIMA has it aligning with and incorporating other standards-based open source components/protocols, some of which may have licensing other than the Apache license (for example, the XML Metadata Interchange (XMI), and the EMF ECore Model from Eclipse); we will work with the community in figuring out how to move forward on this. ? Orphaned Software: UIMA has been in active development for 5 years. The community of users has steadily grown, and there are now significant commercial and research organizations actively using it. UIMA is embedded in IBM software products and is delivered through IBM services engagements. IBM has developers assigned to it, and is continuing to support its development. In addition, several people outside of IBM have already expressed interest in working on UIMA, and have been providing IBM with initial feedback. One of the objectives of starting this Apache project is to provide a meritocratic structure for those people to begin more actively contributing to UIMA. ? Experience With Open Source: The individuals working on this software have background as IBM software developers. While many of them have experience working with open source software
