UIMA v3 and refactoring Resource implementation

[Peter Klügl <pe...@averbis.com>]

Hi,


I was wondering if there is a timeline/roadmap for UIMA v3.


I think that the external/shared resources could really use some
makeover, meaning that they should support the normal configuration
parameter concepts and not just single strings. This could be (1) quite
some work and could (2) break backwards compatibility. As for (1), it
could be realistic that I (or someone else here at Averbis) implement it
or help to implement it, but most likely not this year. As for (2), this
is probably rather reasonable for UIMA v3, which introduces a second
time constraint.


Are there any opinions on the current state of the resources? Does
anyone use them at all?

I often heard someone or myself say that they lack some expected
functionality. I assume that DKPro Core does not care as they solved it
without resources, right?


Best,


Peter

Here is my wishlist ;)

https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20UIMA%20AND%20status%20in%20(Open%2C%20%22In%20Progress%22%2C%20Reopened)%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20Resources

DKPro Core might use external resources more if these issues were resolved.

Cheers,

Thanks for starting this thread.  It would be good to collect the missing things
people would like to see in external/shared resources. 

1) support configuration parameters the same way Annotators do.

2) ...

Re: timeline for v3 - my guess is we'll need a "beta" release - one where it's a
release, but users are aware some APIs might get changes, as it gets some usage
that might reveal some design flaws we want to fix.  The beta might be early in
2017, and depending on how that goes, have a real release later in 2017.
