Here's how I think about UIMA types, versus rich data structures available in
modern programming languages.
UIMA was designed to facilitate combining more-or-less independently developed
components (Annotators).
How each primitive annotator is programmed, internally, is invisible to UIMA -
the a
Thanks for the detailed reply and examples.
I¹ve got some tangentially related questions about types in UIMA C++,
which I hope that either you or someone else can answer:
If you need to use a custom Type in an annotator written with the UIMA C++
SDK,
1) do you need to define a corresponding cus
It is possible to customize the generated JCas classes, yes. You can e.g. add
own methods or even own fields. However, own fields would not be saved/loaded
when you persist a CAS e.g. to XMI.
As a case for a custom method, consider e.g. the DKPro Core Token
"setText(string)" method [1].
If the
Does the UIMA Java framework support modifying or extend the java class
generated by JCasGen corresponding to a custom Type? If so, are there any
common circumstances where this is necessary?
I didn’t see anything in the examples or documentation about modifying the
generated classes, but I a
