All, I am the technical lead of the Automated Metadata Population Service (AMPS) working group. AMPS is a US Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community effort to create a Defense Discovery Metadata Standard (DDMS)-compliant metadata population web service that many Federal Government Communities of Interest (COI) may choose to adopt in complying with the DoD's Net-Centric data strategy. We have chosen UIMA as the framework for this service due to its flexibility, industry support, OASIS status and adoption of open standards. We are still exploring the basics of the package, and will be channeling questions pertinent to our project through this mailing list and the uima-dev mailing list.
Sincerely, Josh Powers Senior Advisor USAF CIO 703 588 6018 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
