Mímir: Multiparadigm Indexing and Retrieval
Concept search, full-text search and annotation structure search in one scaleable index: "Mímir is a multi-paradigm information management index and repository which can be used to index and search over text, annotations, semantic schemas (ontologies), and semantic meta-data (instance data). It allows queries that arbitrarily mix full-text, structural, linguistic and semantic queries and that can scale to gigabytes of text. A typical semantic annotation project deals with large quantities of data of different kinds. Mímir provides a framework for implementing indexing and search functionality across all these data type."
Some documentation:
- a users and implementors guide
- an example query session
- a few simple demos
- a short explanatory/demo video
GATE Mímir is open source software, released under the GNU Lesser General Public Licence 3.0, with the source code hosted at SourceForge. We do not supply ready-built binaries as there are too many possible deployment configurations. Instead we encourage you to download the sources directly from the SourceForge link above, and build your own binaries. Instructions for how to do so are included in the user guide. Check the 'tags' directory for stable releases, or look at the 'trunk' for the current development version.
Alternatively you can buy a ready-to-run virtual server with GATE Mímir installed from GATECloud.net.
