Need to find common ancestor of unions for FSArray elements #16

Open mecst76 opened 8 years ago

mecst76 commented 8 years ago

For UIMA descriptor file, the classes that have the OR logical operator cannot be represented in FSArray. You must find the common ancestor of all of the operands and use it as the value of FSArray.

What does this class do? Cover OWL to UIMA Type descriptor? Is it possible to not use XXArray? I know several programs have problems with that features. GATE doesn't interpret that type feature properly. So does Leo. Not sure if they have been fixed or not. But using that often increases complexity.

Yes, this class is meant to convert a domain ontology into a UIMA Type descriptor file. I'm not very familiar with UIMA. I was just using an example descriptor file to build my code. I'm not familiar with XXArray and not sure if UIMA supports that type or not.

XX means "any", e.g. FSArray, StringArray, LongArray. I think it is a variable type that used to define the feature's rangeTypeName. There are many others, such as, uima.cas.String, uima.cas.Long. I think it should be easier and simpler to consider any unknown feature of a concept Type will take uima.cas.String values.
