Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-5115:
--------------------------------------------------
I assume you mean selectCovering because there is no coveredBy in uimaFIT?
Return all Sentence annotations (including subtypes of Sentence) that contain
the specified Token annotation.
{code}
Token token = ...;
List<Sentence> sentences = selectCovering(Sentence.class, token)
{code}
In case you mean selectCovered: return all Token annotations (including
subtypes of Token) that are contained within the boundaries of the specified
sentence.
{code}
Sentence sentence = ...;
List<Token> tokens = selectCovered(Token.class, sentence)
{code}
I hope that the statements above are correct with respect to the
implementation. They are at least how it should work. selectCovered is using
cas.getAnnotationIndex(type).iterator() which afaik returns subtypes as well.
selectCovering is going over the full annotation index and then uses
ts.subsumes() to check if an annotation should be included - so subtypes should
also be included here.
