[Gusdev-gusdev] adding similarity evidence to perl objects

[Dave B. <db...@pc...>]

Hey all, 

I was wondering if anyone knows about some of the more subtle points of 
adding evidence to GUS Objects in the Perl Object layer.  I am trying to 
add two different types of evidence to an object; one is a GUS/Perl object 
DoTS.Similarity and the other one could be one of a few random GUS/Perl 
objects.  

I notice that GUS objects have the methods addEvidence($fact) and 
addSimilarityFact($fact).  Is the latter specific to DoTS.Similarity 
objects?  Or can you choose to add those as normal Evidence?  Is there any 
particular reason that similarity gets its own evidence category?

I guess right now I am planning on adding my similarity objects as 
evidence with the addSimilarityFact() method, and the rest of my evidence 
will be added with the addEvidence() method.  Is this the right way to 
proceed given the answers to the questions above?

thanks,
Dave
