My understanding is that resources are valuable for= things like large model files, where it can be loaded once by UIMA and the= n shared between pipelines. I happened to notice that in the dependency par= ser, which has an uncommonly large model file, the model filename is a para= meter, and from what I can tell the model will be loaded separately for eac= h pipeline. Is this something that should be fixed or is there some reason= ing against using the resource mechanism in this instance or in general? Tim=
