IBM has announced its intention to disclose the code of its new Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA), a search tool that probes unordered data, such as email, Web pages, and text documents for facts, trends, and relationships. UIMA surpasses keyword searches in its ability to interpret the semantic meaning of data. IBM, which has been developing UIMA for four years with major funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and in conjunction with several universities and private research groups, announced its plans to make the technology commercially available at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo this week. IBM’s Nelson Mattos said the architecture will be available as open source in the hopes of widespread market adoption, allowing for easy, customized modifications and extensions. Because of its ability to interpret data, the search tool could be especially useful in business intelligence, where valuable information can be overlooked by keyword-based searches. Existing search tools produce information based on literal matches, but lack the ability to order data in terms of relevance. IBM is hoping UIMA will be adopted as an industry standard, which “could allow for real-time analysis of an entire corporate intranet,” according to Interarbor Solutions analyst Dana Gardner.
