UIMA TC -- Please Vote -- Outstanding Ballots on our website.

[David Ferrucci <ferrucci@us.ibm.com>]

Hi,

These outstanding Ballots are up on
our website.  http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/uima/ballots.php


Please vote before our call tomorrow.

1) Accept Section 2 (Goals) 
2) Accept  Section 3 (Elements
of Behavioral Metadata) 
3) (Footnote #2) The spec will not include
a "necessarily creates" predicate.  It will have only a
single kind of "creates" predicate which says that an analytic
_may_ create objects matching that expression.  
4) Accept Section 5 (Deriving Preconditions,
Postconditions, and Projection Conditions)
5) We will eliminate the "Types
and Features" level of expressivity (Section 4.1.2).  In practice
we don't believe it will be useful to specify feature names without saying
anything about their values.  (If this vote does not pass, the TC
needs to further review the issue and decide what the semantics would be
if a behavioral metadata element includes a feature name without a value.)


PS.  Please push the chads all
the way through :-)
