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 types."

You can spin up a ready-to-run virtual server with GATE Mímir installed on %(https://cloud.gate.ac.uk, GATE Cloud), and create indices using cloud processing time.

GATE Mímir is open source software, released under the

We offer a ready-built copy of the main ^mimir-cloud^ WAR file if you are happy with the default configuration and plugin set - release versions are available from %(https://github.com/GateNLP/mimir/releases, GitHub) and the latest snapshot from %(https://snapshots.gate.ac.uk/latest/mimir-cloud.war, our snapshot repository).  Alternatively you can download the source code from %(https://github.com/GateNLP/mimir, the GitHub repository) and build it yourself.  The GATE plugin to send documents to an index is available from Maven Central and can be loaded into GATE 8.5 or later via the group ID ^uk.ac.gate.mimir^, artifact ID ^mimir-indexing-plugin^ and version ^6.0^.
