Ultimately, the whole point of comprehensive/exhaustive extraction is to do as much of your semantic analysis as possible AFTER the text tokens have been dumped in RDBMS. If you believe in that, then there's room for ever-tighter text analytics and BI integration. Ditto text analytics/data mining, of course, as per what SAS, SPSS, and even KXEN are doing in the area. Best, CAM Add Temis to your list, Seth; Temis is one of the bigger UIMA fans around.

I had been expecting Cognos to make a text-analytics acquisition, following in Business Objects' footsteps, so it would be interesting to know more about the joint Cognos-IBM customer example. I also note that IBM has text-analytics relationships with both Attensity and Nstein and there are probably others.
