On this page we would like to suggest and discuss possible UIMA applications and UIMA usage scenarios.

If you have a great idea for an UIMA application or usage scenario feel free to add it to the list below. We are also interested if you just want to integrate UIMA into an existing application.

This is the right place for all discussions and suggestions around UIMA applications.

The list below contains the current available suggestions and discussions.

Suggested UIMA applications

 UIMA Firefox plugin

We want to start showing the benefit of UIMA with a short simple application. This application should run as a Mozilla Firefox plugin to analyze the currently loaded web page in the browser and highlight the detected annotations. It should be easy to configure so that users can plug in their own analysis components to highlight the entities of their choice.

The flow of the application is:

1) Web page is loaded in the browser
2) With the browser page load event the UIMA plugin application is triggered to analyze the content of the web page and to return the analysis results.
3) The analysis results are transformed and used to highlight the corresponding entities in the web content.

The UIMA analysis engines in the plugin can be configured with PEAR package or UIMA service references that should be used for the analysis. The returned analysis result is transformed and prepared that it can be used for highlighting. Maybe the result can run through additional custom filers before it is used for the highlighting to have an additional customization on the highlighting.

The Java UIMA runtime in the plugin can maybe realized with the "Java in Firefox extension" plugin (http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Java_in_Firefox_Extensions).

We currently have not much experience with Firefox plugin development so we are looking for volunteers to help us develop this application. We especially need some support in the area of "Firefox extensions with Java" and "highlighting with JavaScript". So everybody who is interested in such an application is welcome to help.
