Marshall Schor updated UIMA-39: ------------------------------- Affects Version/s: 2.3 defer past 2.3.0 > superiterator (an iterator that returns all annotations that span a specified > annotation) > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: UIMA-39 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-39 > Project: UIMA > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core Java Framework > Affects Versions: 2.3 > Reporter: Adam Lally > Priority: Minor > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
