| <p>The Annotator Interfaces, along with supporting interfaces |
| and exception classes.</p> |
| <p>The annotator interfaces are as follows: |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>{@link org.apache.uima.analysis_engine.annotator.BaseAnnotator}</code>: the base interface |
| for all annotators. Annotators should not implement this directly.</li> |
| <li><code>{@link org.apache.uima.analysis_engine.annotator.GenericAnnotator}</code>: an annotator that |
| can process any type of entity.</li> |
| <li><code>{@link org.apache.uima.analysis_engine.annotator.TextAnnotator}</code>: an annotator that |
| processes text documents.</li> |
| <li><code>{@link org.apache.uima.analysis_engine.annotator.JTextAnnotator}</code>: similar to |
| <code>TextAnnotator</code>, but uses the Java-object-based {@link org.apache.uima.jcas.impl.JCas} |
| interface instead of the standard {@link org.apache.uima.cas.CAS} interface. </li> |
| </ul> |
