DocumentNameFinder (LinkableDocumentNameFinder)

[Giaconia, Mark [USA]]

As part of working the EntityLinker (issue 
OPENNLP-579<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-579>), I created a 
new Interface and a default impl
called LinkableDocumentNameFinder/DefaultLinkableDocumentNameFinderImpl.
Here are the method signatures for the Interface

public interface LinkableDocumentNameFinder{
  Document find(String[] sentences, Tokenizer tokenizer, List<TokenNameFinder> 
nameFinders, boolean linkable);
  Document find(String documentText, SentenceDetector sentenceDetector, 
Tokenizer tokenizer, List<TokenNameFinder> nameFinders, boolean linkable);
  Document find(List<Sentence> sentences, Tokenizer tokenizer, 
List<TokenNameFinder> nameFinders, boolean linkable);
  Document find(Document document, SentenceDetector sentenceDetector, Tokenizer 
tokenizer, List<TokenNameFinder> nameFinders, boolean linkable);
  List<Document> find(List<Document> documents, SentenceDetector 
sentenceDetector, Tokenizer tokenizer, List<TokenNameFinder> nameFinders, 
boolean linkable);
}

notice the Document object return type... here is what a Document object looks 
like

public class Document{
 private List<Sentence> sentences = new ArrayList<>();
  public List<Sentence> getSentences()  {
    return sentences;
  }
  public void setSentences(List<Sentence> sentences)  {
    this.sentences = sentences;
  }
}

notice the Sentence object..... here it is:
public class Sentence{
  private String sentenceText;
  private Integer sentenceNumber;
  private List<String> tokens = new ArrayList<>();
  private List<Span> spans = new ArrayList<>();

  public Sentence(String sentenceText, Integer sentenceNumber)  {
    this.sentenceNumber = sentenceNumber;
    this.sentenceText = sentenceText;
  }
//setters...getters....
}
