Dear UIMA-users, we are currently facing the issue, that the documents we are processing using UIMA have more than just "linear text".
On top of text we got images and marginal notes that should be encoded at the correct positions. (Output of OCR and image segmentation) So far i do not know if UIMA is capable of handling sofas with different types of material (e.g. text and images) We came up with a concept like this (please comment if this is stupid or if better ways to handle this have been found already) 1. Store the main text in the primary sofa 2. For each image/marginal note, use a different sofa and store the content in there 3. In the main text, refer to annotations in different sofas (is this possible? - i never needed this before) at the according position If there are any best praqctices for those kind of problems i would be glad if you would let me know Thanks in advance Markus Krug -- M.Sc.
