Hi all,
in one of the jiras we started a discussion about merging the output
of multiple name finders and which conflicts exist.
Lets move it back to the dev list.
The merging code needs to handle these cases:
- Two names can be identical and have the same type or a different type.
- Two names have intersecting spans like this:
<START:A> a b <START:B> c <END:A> d <END:B>
- One name is contained in another like this:
<START:A> a b <START:B> c <END:B> d <END:A>
Depending on the use case and merging logic it might be resolved
differently.
