We generally stick to one type system and one collection of components =
and
include components from other collections only if the are configurable =
with
respect to type or of they are type agnostic. E.g. we combine the =
linguistic
pre-processing components from DKPro Core [1] with the machine learning
components from ClearTK [2].

There is also the uima-type-mapper [3] that tries to convert between =
systems. Maybe
you want to try that.=20
