Interface AnalysisProcessData

Deprecated.

@Deprecated
public interface AnalysisProcessData

Encapsulates all data that is modified by an AnalysisEngine's AnalysisEngine.process(AnalysisProcessData,ResultSpecification) method. This currently includes:

• The Common Analysis System(CAS), from which the AnalysisEngine obtains the information to be processed, and to which the AnalysisEngine writes new annotation information.
• The ProcessTrace object, which is used to record which AnalysisEngine components have executed and information, such as timing, about that execution.

In a tightly-coupled system, a single AnalysisProcessData object is shared by multiple AnalysisEngines.

In a loosely-coupled system, the AnalysisProcessData object is transmitted between remote AnalysisEngine services.

Method Summary

CAS	getCAS() Deprecated. Gets the Common Analysis System (CAS), from which the AnalysisEngine obtains the information to be processed, and to which the AnalysisEngine writes new annotation information.
ProcessTrace	getProcessTrace() Deprecated. Gets the ProcessTrace object, which is used to record which AnalysisEngine components have executed and information, such as timing, about that execution.
