Thanks Richard for your informative reply. You mentioned you able to use DKPro Core and ClearTK together. a. Do you use them as PEAR or do you simply download (manually or via Maven) the JARs and use the annotators like a library? b. Your post imply that DKPro Core and ClearTK has some sort of configurable type system or are type agnostic. So far I have seen that OpenNLP are able to load whatever type in the application via the parameter configuration settings like "opennlp.uima.SentenceType". Are DKPro Core and ClearTK simple to OpenNLP annotators in this aspect? Thanks.
