Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-6151:
--------------------------------------
This seems like a good idea to me. Probably best implemented as "default"
methods in the AnnotationFS interface... Any pull request?
> Containment/overlap predicates for AnnotationFS

> Key: UIMA-6151
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-6151
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: UIMA
> Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Priority: Minor
>
> The UIMA cookbook describes how to detect containment/overlap of annotations.
> It would be nice to have convenience methods on AnnotationFS for such cases:
> * ann.contains(otherAnn)
> * ann.overlaps(otherAnn)
> * ann.overlapsLeft(otherAnn)
> * ann.overlapsRight(otherAnn)
