org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.refsem.DiseaseDisorder  annotations are 
created by the TemplateFillerAnnotator within ctakes-template-filler. Running 
AggregateTemplateFiller engine, which is under ctakes-template-filler, will 
generate refsem annotations.

The concept behind having separate textsem and refsem annotations is if you 
have two textsem annotations, they might refer to a single real-world object.  
The goal is to (someday) have a single refsem annotation per single real-world 
object, using coreference resolution to determine which textsem annotations 
refer to the same thing, and having something to merge and resolve conflicts 
between attributes of the coreferenced textsem annotations. That piece (merging 
and dealing with conflicts of attributes) doesn’t exist yet.

So for now, the distinction between the refsem and textsem annotation is that 
refsem annotations use the output of the relation extraction piece to set the 
bodyLocation and severity attributes.
