Marshall Schor updated UIMA-39:
-------------------------------
Description:
We've had this feature request from internal users and from an external user on
the alphaWorks forum:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_thread.jsp?message=13880014&cat=28&thread=138315&treeDisplayType=threadmode1&forum=444#13880014
The basic requirement is to find all annotations of a particular type whose
span encompasses a specified annotation. For example: find the paragraph that
spans this sentence. Or, find all NamedEntities that span this Token.
We've discussed with users the idea of an AnnotationIndex.superiterator()
method, and they seem to like that idea. This would be a complement to
subiterator(). superiterator(xyz) would return annotations that covered
annotation xyz.
