UML diagrams, architecture description

[Matthias Mühlhausen <Ma...@uni-jena.de>]

Hi,

I am teaching a course about programming with UIMA at Jena University in 
Germany this summer term. Therefore I am searching for material like this:

- UML class diagrams of the UIMA Framework classes (or other kiinds of 
UML diagrams)
- documentation about the UIMA architecture
- documentation about design decisions that where made

Does anyone know where to find such stuff? (Please don't tell me to read 
the UIMA documentation!)

thanks,

You could at least look at the overview sections of the UIMA
documentation if you want a high level view of the framework.

Some architecture-level information can be found in UIMA publications:
http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/sj/433/ferrucci.html
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayFulltext?type=6&fid=364207&jid=NLE&volumeId=10&issueId=3-4&aid=252253&fulltextType=RA&fileId=S1351324904003523

There is also the UIMA architecture work going on at OASIS, but be
aware that it's not in sync with the current Apache UIMA
implementation:
