Thomas,
Check out these projects from IBM Research: http://bill.murdocks.org
Especially look at the KITE and SUKI projects.
The was talk at one point about re-implementing these on top of UIMA and
open-sourcing them, but that was over a year ago and I haven't heard about any
progress toward that.

Defining a type system in UIMA looks very much like defining an (simple) OWL
ontology (http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-ref/). I was just wondering if there have
been any effort into developping something that could make a connection between
a UIMA type system and an OWL ontology ? (like generating OWL from a type
system or vice versa)

Hi
Defining a type system in UIMA looks very much like defining an
(simple) OWL ontology (http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-ref/). I was just
wondering if there have been any effort into developping something that

? (like generating OWL from a type system or vice versa)
I can see a couple of advantages to this :
- Users defining their type systems could instead define an
ontology using existing visual editors like protégé or swoop
- OWL adds a lot more constraints than a UIMA type system - these
constraints need be completely implemented in UIMA, but at least some
simple ones, like cardinalities
- OWL uses RDF datatypes (String, booleans, times, etc.) onto which
UIMA could build, instead of redefining its own datatypes
- etc.
Thoughts ? comments ?
Cheers,
Thomas
