I was thinking of same... I think it's fine to have additional types which are 
not used so then, they can be easily subset'd.  For example, CTS could be a 
subset of this larger schema.  But I think the key would be sharing the same 
underlying common types/schema/objects.  So any new types created in the 
annotation tool/schema could just be automatically reused by the system (or 
subset'd which is an easier problem to solve than mapping).

Can we extend the existing UIMA one CAS Editor? Update Knowtator to work 
directly off the UIMA type system file (objects) Or even, something like BRAT 
(http://brat.nlplab.org/) that could works directly off a UIMA types system 
file/objects?
