But thanks for mentioning that, I think this is useful also for others. However, our question of how and whether non-Annotation-derived types are visualized in the document analyzer is still not really answered. We set both the mention type and the relation itself as output in the capabilities page. However, if we run the document analyzer, the relation is only 'visible' whenever we make Relation a subtype of Annotation and set the end/begin of the relation to the end/begin of the mention, respectively. But this obviously implies that for the relation the whole substring between the two mentions is highlighted, and not just (as we would wish) the two mentions themselves (as an annotation has only one end/begin). On the contrary, if we don't set the end/begin of the relation, then it's not shown at all, not even despite the fact that the relations' two features (the two entities) have each begin/end properly set. In more detail, the "relation" checkbox is shown, but by enabling it nothing is 'highlighted' The same holds if we make Relation a subclass of TOP directly, still with two features (mention1 and mention2 which are Annotation types with proper begin/end set). We don't see it in the document analzyer. Thus, is it the case that such 'abstract' types (with what I mean non-Annotation-derived types and hence types without begin/end) are simply not shown in the document analyzer? (thus to 'see' them we have to use the debugger?) We'd simply like to find out if this is the case or we do miss something. Here is an illustration from the UIMA which shows what we'd like to have: http://uima.apache.org/d/uimaj-2.4.0/overview_and_setup.html#ugr.ovv.conceptual.aes_annotators_and_analysis_results Thanks a lot for your help.
