Interface CasDataInitializer

All Superinterfaces:

ConfigurableResource, Resource

All Known Implementing Classes:

CasDataInitializer_ImplBase

Deprecated.

As of v2.0, CAS Initializers are deprecated. A component that performs an operation like HTML detagging should instead be implemented as a "multi-Sofa" annotator. See org.apache.uima.examples.XmlDetagger for an example.

@Deprecated
public interface CasDataInitializer
extends ConfigurableResource

A component that takes an Object (for text analysis applications, this will often be a String) and creates a CasData.

An example of a CasDataInitializer would be a component that takes an HTML document and populates a CasData with the plain (detagged) text as well as document structure annotations that were inferred from the locations of certain HTML tags (paragraphs and headings, for example).
