+GATE can read UIMA CAS documents. The CAS stands for Common Analysis
+Structure. It provides a common representation to the artifact being
+analyzed, here a text.
+
+The subject of analysis (SOFA), here a string, is used as the document
+content. Multiple sofa are concatenated. The analysis results or metadata
+are added as annotations when having begin and end offsets and otherwise are
+added as document features. The views are added as GATE annotation sets.
+The type system (a hierarchical annotation schema) is not currently
+supported.
+
+The web server content type associate with UIMA documents
+is: {\em text/xmi+xml.}
+
+The extensions are: xcas, xmicas, xmi.
+
+The magic numbers are:
