Hi All, Does the UIMA API provide a way to add features to the base type system? I see that the default TS is created and locked in CASImpl so I am assuming that there is no API way for doing this. Can I add additional features in the CASImpl code (and modify the Java cover classes in jcas) and recompile? Will this work? Does the rest of the API make any assumptions about the Top type and what features it can have?
The reason I am asking is that I want to add few String features to capture some metadata about each annotation instance in a generic way even if the instances are created by an independent Annotator or PEAR. Thanks, Shahim
