Hi Thilo,

I and some friend are try to develop an extension of UIMA that allow users
to obtain automatically (in a way similar to JCas Gen)  an analysis engine
based on regular expression over feature structure (UIMA type).

I try to explain with an example :

In my type system descriptor I define three type of annotation :

1) Car with features color:string and model:string

2) Bus with features color:string and seat_number:integer

3) Traffic with some other feature

I would obtain an analysis engine that match with the left hand side regexp
add a new annotation as described in the right hand side

(<Car color=blue> | <Bus seat_num=30> )* --> Traffic

I hope this example explain better what I'm trying to implement(something
similar to JAPE for GATE ).

Thanks
