Maybe we have caused confusion with the packaging of UIMA AS. It is an extension built on top of core UIMA which is interoperable with core UIMA. The UIMA AS package includes everything in the UIMA package, minus documentation which was left off to keep the total package size about the same. A UIMA AS service can be utilized as a delegate in a standard UIMA aggregate, so it would be simple to integrate with whatever deployment mechanism you are using for the rest of your UIMA pipeline. The main advantage of UIMA AS is to provide significantly enhanced scalability options, without rewriting any UIMA code or component descriptors. Eddie
