The joy of tags #91
Description
We have had some pushback in the past for using pos as a property on Token which was not so controversial), but what people did not like was that the value is a string rather than a PosTag annotation type. With PosTag we would have had a nice way to have more than one tag or confidence measures and whatnot as well as a very specific spot to put meta data like tag sets. However, changing to PosTag would be a pain in the extreme lower back and that ship had sailed and we basically decided to live with a string value and allow other optional properties to deal with extra information (pos-list, pos-confidence, etcetera).
Now that we are about to introduce a semtags property on token we may want to open this discussion again. And perhaps this is relevant for the discussion on Morpology (issue #65).
