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).

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? > -----Original Message----- > From: Steven Bethard [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 5:33 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: type system changes needed to read SHARP data > > On Dec 5, 2012, at 9:36 PM, "Wu, Stephen T., Ph.D." > <[email protected]> wrote: > > For 3.1.0 the type system should include more than just "LabMention, > > ProcedureMention, SignSymptomMention, DiseaseDisorderMention, > > AnatomicalSiteMention."
