<b>SMILA - Unified Information Access Architecture</b> is an extensible framework <br>
for building search solutions to access unstructured information in the enterprise.<br>
Besides providing essential infrastructure components and services, SMILA also delivers<br>
ready-to-use add-on components, like connectors to most relevant data sources.
</p>
<p>
<b>Goals:</b>
</p>
<p>&bull; Define and implement an extensible framework based on SOA principles and <br>
standards (e.g. BPEL, SCA), which is dedicated to the access and integration of <br>
(unstructured) information.</p>
<p>&bull; Provide ready-to-use framework components (data source connectors and service <br>
implementations) that help to demonstrate and leverage its capabilities.</p>
<p>&bull; Deliver interfaces for management, operation and monitoring of the framework <br>
and its components.</p>
