The book contains the papers presented at the 2009 bi-annual conference of the German Society for Computational Linguistics and Language Technology (GSCL), aswell as those of the associated 2nd UIMA@GSCL workshop. The main theme of the conference was computational approaches to text processing, and in conjunction with the UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture) workshop, this volume offers an overview of current work on both theoretical and practical aspects of textdocument processing.
