By default, such information is not available in UIMA.

Some collection reader implementations may store such information in subtypes of DocumentAnnotation or other dedicated annotations. E.g. DKPro Core defines a DocumentMetaData type which derives from DocumentAnnotation and DKPro Core reader components store there the original path/URI of the document and may store a title if available.

Other component collections or collection reader implementations may do similar things.
