A standard for accessing the unstructured data that makes up an estimated 80 percent of data generated by enterprises has been ratified by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS).
The Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) was developed by IBM Corp., which incorporates it in a number of products. The company has made the architecture available as an open-source technology to encourage development of interoperable analytics tools for unstructured text documents, including e-mails, blog entries, news feeds and notes, in addition to audio recordings, images and video.
According to OASIS, these types of unstructured data are the largest, most current and fastest-growing types of data and account for 80 percent of information generated by enterprises.
