wrappers for C# in UIMA?

[Bart Mellebeek <ba...@barcelonamedia.org>]

Hi,

Is it possible to write UIMA wrappers (AEs) for existing C# 
applications? Are there examples of anyone having done this before?

Thanks,
Bart

Re: wrappers for C# in UIMA?

Hi Bart,

Other people have inquired about this, but to my knowledge nobody ever
did any work.

There are basically two ways to wrap C# code as a UIMA annotator which
could then be integrated with the UIMA Java framework:

1. create a UIMA compliant service that is "called" with a serialized CAS
    and replies with an updated serialized CAS (or delta CAS).
2. create a generic C# wrapper similar to the Perl, Python and Tcl wrappers
    built on top of UIMA C++.

The second approach assumes that the C# code can be called from C++,
and the CAS APIs in the UIMA C++ library can be called from C# to exchange
information in the CAS.

If either of these sound interesting, or you just want to get
additional confusing
answers, please ask for more details.

Regards,
Eddie
