Looking for SUMR - see STAR!

We've generalized Simple Use case Mark-up Restructured (SUMR) to STAR - Simple Text Annotation Restructured. STAR is a semantic mark-up language for many kinds of documents, not just use cases! At the moment, if you need a copy of STAR, contact us directly - it's not up on our website because of the rework.

Jim is working on a new release of STAR to coincide with our next book "Secrets of Analysis".
