1. What is the Semantic Search package?
This is a repackaging of the Semantic Search engine from the UIMA SDK, along with the demo tool for queries and a CAS consumer for generating the index, that works with the Apache UIMA version. It will allow you to index annotations as well as keywords; then you can use XML Fragments containing both keywords and annotations to query the index. All this is described in further detail in the package, as well as in the UIMA reference documentation chapter on building UIMA Applications.
2. Can I build my UIM application on top of UIMA?
Yes. The UIMA license does not restrict its usage to specific scenarios, and we are of course very interested in your feedback, which will help us making UIMA the right platform for building UIM applications. Please note, however, that we currently offer support on a "best we can do" basis. If you are interested in a more formal support agreement, or if you would like to include UIMA in a commercial solution, WebSphere Information Integrator OmniFind Edition is the product-level platform to build commercial solutions on.
