The Apache Software Foundation

We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.

The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects, which provide software products for the public good.

The Apache projects are defined by collaborative consensus based processes, an open, pragmatic software license and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field.

The ASF is made up of more than 150 top level projects which cover a wide range of technologies. Chances are if you are looking for a rewarding experience in Open Source, you are going to find it here.

• Apache UIMA

  Annotator components and a scalable integration and deployment framework for Unstructured Information analysis

  The Apache UIMA project supports the community working on the analysis of unstructured information with a unifying Java and C++ framework, tooling, and analysis components, guided by the OASIS UIMA standard. It includes support for very large scaleout using networked clusters of compute nodes.

• Apache Reusable Dialog Components (RDC) Taglib

  A framework for creating JSP taglibs that aid in rapid development of voice and multimodal applications.

  Server-side generation of HTML has proven an effective way of generating the user interface for visual web applications. Over time, the effort involved in such HTML generation has been reduced by the availability of various JSP tag libraries that abstract away the minutiae of HTML markup. The RDC project aims to achieve for voice and multimodal applications what JSP tag libraries have already achieved in the world of visual web applications.

• Apache ODE

  Apache ODE is a WS-BPEL implementation that supports web services orchestration using flexible process definitions.

  Apache ODE (Orchestration Director Engine) executes business processes written following the WS-BPEL standard. It talks to web services, sending and receiving messages, handling data manipulation and error recovery as described by your process definition. It supports both long and short living process executions to orchestrate all the services that are part of your application. WS-BPEL is an XML-based language defining several constructs to write business processes. It defines a set of basic control structures like conditions or loops as well as elements to invoke web services and receive messages from services. It relies on WSDL to express web services interfaces....
