Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-5115:
--------------------------------------
I discovered the existing impl and docs for "subiterator" also make a point of
not returning the bounding FS, but also do not returning any annotations that
are equal (meaning same begin / end / Type) to that. Earlier in this thread,
you had mentioned "for the case of at, covering, and coveredBy, we already
agreed that we'd return all at the same position except the reference
annotation". This seems to be a difference.
I'm wondering if it would be preferable (in the sense that more users would
find this would be what they intended) to use this definition of "equal", or a
more restrictive one where only the identical FS would be skipped.
So, for instance, if you had FSs:
* Lemma [ begin: 15, end: 20, baseForm: "foo" ] and
* Lemma [ begin: 15, end: 20, baseForm: "bar" ] and
asked to get items covered by Lemma [ begin: 15, end: 20, baseForm: "XXX" ],
would users of this API prefer that the above 2 Lemma FSs be skipped or not?
