Hello Peter, thank you again that you put so much thought it in. I am a bit embarrassed to say that I already had the solution in my script when I just opened Eclipse again. I think I just didn’t really try it because I didn’t expect it to work. This works now, thank you!
In order to better understand my case, here some details: My type system is indeed the JCoRe TS. And I am not working with Person annotations but with Organism mentions, but I wanted to keep things simple. Organism mentions are extended from ConceptMentions: https://github.com/JULIELab/jcore-base/blob/90b4e56d80d774add1997db29f4eb27d6b394309/jcore-types/src/main/resources/de/julielab/jcore/types/jcore-semantics-mention-types.xml#L125 <https://github.com/JULIELab/jcore-base/blob/90b4e56d80d774add1997db29f4eb27d6b394309/jcore-types/src/main/resources/de/julielab/jcore/types/jcore-semantics-mention-types.xml#L125> Those have the “resourceEntryList” feature which is an FSArray of ResourceEntry instances: https://github.com/JULIELab/jcore-base/blob/90b4e56d80d774add1997db29f4eb27d6b394309/jcore-types/src/main/resources/de/julielab/jcore/types/jcore-basic-types.xml#L44 <https://github.com/JULIELab/jcore-base/blob/90b4e56d80d774add1997db29f4eb27d6b394309/jcore-types/src/main/resources/de/julielab/jcore/types/jcore-basic-types.xml#L44> The ResourceEntry, finally, has a feature named “entryId”. The entryIds are set in a separate annotator (JCoRe Linneaus annotator). And my goal is to connect multiple mentions of Organisms ("mouse and human”) into a single expression for a downstream annotator that is checking the Organism mentions directly in front of gene mentions. However, in the example “mouse and human” it would always detect “human” but disregard “mouse”. So I thought I would create new annotations to “merge” the originals. Is this how you would do it? Alternatively, I could also have merged the two existing Organism annotations. I would even prefer that. But I would not know how to organize this so that, in the end, instead of two single Organism annotations with two resourceEntries there would be only one Organism annotation with both resourceEntries. So actually, there is one step missing now: I need to replace merged Organism entries with the covering OrganismEnumeration (Person and PersonEnumeration in my example). Is there a way to do this better in RUTA? I have to say that I have not yet fully penetrated the syntax, I would have not been able to come up with the // collect ids of all covered Persons using a extra list STRINGLIST ids; pe:PersonEnumeration{-> pe.personIds = ids} <-{p:Person{-> ADD(ids,p.ids.personId)};}; construction so this enumeration-annotation-merging might actually be easy and I just don’t see it.
