Using UIMA for structured data sources

["Villemos, Gert" <ge...@logica.com>]

We have a number of data sources, some of which are fully structured,
other which are informal (unstructured). We would like to create a
central search facility covering structured as well as unstructured
data. 
UIMA seems to fit the bill, but is focused on unstructured data.
Can/should I use it to also integrate structured data? 
 
If yes, what are the modules which I must develop for the framework?
 
If no, what tools should I use in combination with UIMA to integrate
unstructured data?
 
Thanks,
Gert.
