Generic annotation type in api.semantics

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A generic annotation type for semantic tagsets in api.semantics might be useful.
This could be used, e.g. by dictionary (e.g. Uby)-based annotators that perform 
semantic annotation with a particular semantic tagset (such as domain, semantic 
field, register/style etc)

Potential names could be 

SemanticLabel 
SemanticAnnotation
SemanticTag

The generic annotation type should have 2 feaures:
1) category (e.g. = semanticField, domain, ...)
2) value

The srl module has been renamed to semantics. New types can be added now.

It would also be possible to add one type per category. Seems more in-line with 
other kinds of annotations we have. E.g. "NamedEntity", which could also be 
considered a kind of semantic tag of the category "named entity".

SemanticField { String value }

I may be wrong, but register/style appears to be rather pragmatics then 
semantics. I'm not sure about domain.

I agree. Moreover, register/style and domain might be document features.

So what about adding a new type SemanticField then with a String feature 
"value"?

Sounds good. Please go ahead and add it.
