Dynamic Annotators

[Ram Mohan Yaratapally <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hi

I am currently evaluating Apache UIMA for one of our requirement. Can
somebody clarify me whether it is possible to load the Annotators
and Feature Properties dynamically?

Ram,

You might check out the uutuc project at:

http://code.google.com/p/uutuc/

The main goal of this project is to make it easier to dynamically 
describe and instantiate uima components.  The project started off as 
utility classes for unit testing - but has really become a dynamic 
descriptor framework.  We need to revamp the documentation to make this 
clearer.  As a simple example you can instantiate an analysis engine 
with something like:

TypeSystemDescription tsd = 
TypeSystemDescriptionFactory.createTypeSystemDescription(MyType.class, 
MyType2.class, ...);
AnalysisEngineFactory.createPrimitive(MyComponent.class, tsd, 
"myConfigurationParameterName", configParamValue, ...);

It's not a complete library but it has come a long ways since we 
released it last spring. 

Cheers,
Philip

Please see this part of the docs that describe how to programmatically
load and run annotators:
http://incubator.apache.org/uima/downloads/releaseDocs/2.2.2-incubating/docs/html/tutorials_and_users_guides/tutorials_and_users_guides.html#ugr.tug.application.using_aes

Our test cases can also provide code samples of how descriptors are
dynamically built containing Annotators and type systems, and then
dynamically loaded.
