Hi all, to facilitate working with UIMA CAS data and to promote interoperability between different UIMA implementations, a new UIMA JSON CAS format is in the works - you may already have noticed a corresponding issue in Jira as well as prototype pull requests in the Apache UIMA Java SDK as well as in DKPro Cassis. However, the work so far was only preliminary with the goal of creating a reasonably comprehensive specification draft and that would be suitable for general comments.
That draft is now available here and the comment functionality is enabled: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tHQKbN4rPKOlkjQFGIEoIzI4ZBWRRzPBdOWMK6MIpV8/edit?usp=sharing If you think a JSON format for the UIMA CAS is a good idea, please have a look and provide any comments directly in the document or alternatively here to the list. The two prototype implementations can be found here if you would like to play around with them: * Apache UIMA Java SDK : https://github.com/apache/uima-uimaj/pull/137 * DKPro Cassis (Python): https://github.com/dkpro/dkpro-cassis/pull/169 Note that the prototype implementations largely but not fully follow the latest specification draft - this is all early work-in-progress. Looking forward to your comments! Best, -- Richard P.S.: this mail is cross-posted to the UIMA developers list. Please send any replies to the users list.
