Peter Klügl commented on UIMA-3661:
-----------------------------------

Yes, that is a stupid problem. Just to clarify it for others: The annotation 
with the covered text "XY (KQ)" is not matched, because parenthesis are not 
visible. One would think that only SegmentElements starting with a parenthesis 
are not matchable. This is quite counterintuitive, but the begin AND the end 
need to be handled the same way because of the variable matching direction 
supported by Ruta.

I agree that we need a better and cleaner concept for visibility. I always 
thought that our concept is much more powerful than related implementations 
such as JAPE. They are type-based, we are coverage-based, but that comes with a 
price.

I invite everyone to discuss what should be visible/matchable.

> It would be nice if we had a specification for inference with filtered and 
> retained types, as well as some options for handling filtered/retained types 
> (covered text vs. annotations).
> For instance, I am trying to merge SegmentElement annotations into Segment 
> annotations (Segment is roughly SegmentElement+). I am not interested in 
> parenthesis or colons, so I add them to the filtered types. However, I have 
> SegmentElements that contain parenthesis, thus, I add SegmentElements to 
> retained types. Nevertheless, not all SegmentElements are used, because some 
> SegmentElements end with closing parenthesis, e.g., "XY (KQ)", which is a 
> valid element in my case.
> At the moment, I cannot use filter/retain for this problem. Changes may 
> affect many parts of the inference, however, I think that it would be a very 
> nice feature for UIMA Ruta 3.0.
