I'm a bit new to UIMA. Do developers typically generate their own unique
IDs andsimply add the ID attribute to each element in the file?
I don't think this is usually done. If some kind of unique id (for each feature
structure) is required by the application, it of course could be done, but I
think that requirement is not the usual case for users of UIMA.
In UIMA, it is much more common to have a feature structure hold a reference
directly to another feature structure, rather than through a unique ID field.
