Hi Andrew,
Very motivating to get a so rapid reply!! Thanks!
About your questions:
- I join here a paper we have recently presented at RIAO conference. It
describes the Query Languages we support in our package and some
implementation highlights. We have not yet official documentation for our
package itself. (See attached file: XMLFragment-camera-ready.pdf)
- The licensign terms issue is still an open question for us. It is not yet
widely available. We are exploring several options. Obviously, we will let
know as soon it is decided.
I would be interested to hear from you if you already know some use cases
you consider with such capability? Which kind of data and which kind of
queries would you be interested to use with such package? We are, here,
very interested to understand scenarios needed by UIMA users!
Best regards,
Benjamin Sznajder

Benjamin,
Sounds good!
A couple questions:
--Do you have a paper or documentation on this package?
--What sort of licensing terms is the package available under?
Thanks,
