CasEditor: Allow creating new annotations "on top" of existing annotations
without manually defining the span
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: UIMA-2297
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2297
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: CasEditor
Affects Versions: 2.4.0SDK
Environment: Eclipse 3.7.1, Ubuntu 11.10, Oracle Java 6, UIMA 2.3
Reporter: Oliver Ferschke
Priority: Minor
It would be great to allow adding an annotation "on top" of an existing
annotation without the need to manually define the span.
E.g. In order to add an arbitrary annotation on sentences using existing, let's
say, "Sentence" annotations, it would be great to be able to do the following:
1. open the "Sentence" type in the FeatureStructure
2. iterate over all annotations of the "Sentence" type
3. add arbitrary annotation (e.g. using "Annotate" or "Quick Annotate") over
the same span as the selected sentence annotation
This makes the CAS Editor a good choice for "markable"-base annotations,
comparable to http://mmax2.net/ with all advantages of UIMA.
