It has grown since then, both in the number of users and in the components that "plug-in". And, you're right, it did originally grow out of a real need to bring together the researchers working in this field, and allow them to benefit by being able to easily build on each other's work. -Marshall Brian McCallister wrote: > On Aug 25, 2006, at 4:07 AM, Leo Simons wrote: > >> What does it *do*? > > I believe it is basically a big, pluggable, harness for analyzing and > annotating streams of arbitrary data, if this is the same thing I > talked with a bunch of folks about (including Martin, I believe) a > couple years ago at Hawthorne. > > I think it actually grew out of a real need in the research community > - lots of cool tools were being built to do unstructured information > analysis and none of them could be used together. > > -Brian > > ps: I may also be totally wrong.
