Is the analysis of each document to be done independently of the others? For example, annotation offsets are relative to the beginning of each document. If not, the documents can be concatenated together and analyzed at the same time.
If the documents are to be considered independently, the annotator has to process each separately. One could create a view for each document and let the annotator iterate over all views. Of course since the CAS is memory resident there is a natural limit to the total size of all documents to be processed in this way.
