Description

I think it would be great if the CAS editor could define a CAS type pointing to the type system. CAS consumers could use that type to store a reference to a remote type system (cf. XML schema/DTD) or to a local type system in a location absolute or relative to the XMI file. For example:

org.apache.uima.caseditor.TypeSystemMetaData

• location = http://myserver/types.xml
• location = file:../../typesystem.xml
• location = file:/home/uima/filesystem.xml
