IBM: UIMA Is The Future of Search

One From The NYTimes on a new search system from IBM. They call it OmniFind, the first program to take advantage of its new strategy for solving search problems. This approach, which it calls unstructured information management architecture, or UIMA, will, according to I.B.M., lead to a third generation in the ability to retrieve computerized data.
I.B.M. says that its tools will make possible a further search approach, that of “discovery systems” that will extract the underlying meaning from stored material no matter how it is structured (databases, e-mail files, audio recordings, pictures or video files) or even what language it is in.
They don’t come out and say it, but it sounds like it’s just a big ol’ LSI System. (Via Slashdot)
