Hi Michael,
I think it is exatly what I need.
If I have annotations [np [token1] [token2] [token3]], your method would
give me for all tokens the NP, right?
Best regards

Hi Ekaterina,
I had the similar problem when implementing the
RegularExpressionAnnotator - how to find the covering annotation of a
certain type for my current FS.
The code is checked in to the SVN at:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/sandbox/trunk/RegularExpressionAnnotator/src/main/java/org/apache/uima/annotator/regex/impl/RegExAnnotator.java
The method is called:
findCoverFS(CAS aCAS, AnnotationFS annot, Type coverFsType)
If this is exactly what you need, we may can discuss to move this to the
core framework API.
Hope that helps.

Hi all!
In UIMA 2.1 it is possible to create a sub-iterator in order to
iterate over annotations which are within the begin-end span of the
selected type.
For example:
AnnotationIndex sentenceIndex = (AnnotationIndex) aJCas
.getJFSIndexRepository().getAnnotationIndex(Sentence.type);
AnnotationIndex tokenIndex = (AnnotationIndex) aJCas
.getJFSIndexRepository().getAnnotationIndex(Token.type);
// iterate over Sentences
FSIterator sentenceIterator = sentenceIndex.iterator();
while (sentenceIterator.hasNext()) {
Sentence sentence = (Sentence) sentenceIterator.next();
// iterate over Tokens
FSIterator tokenIterator = tokenIndex.subiterator(sentence);
I would like to have a more extended functionality. I need to know the
annotations which are in the span of begin-end of the selected
annotation type. These annotations can overlap the span of the
selected type.
For example noun phrases. If I iterate over tokens, I would like to
know, if this token is inside a noun phrase or not. Now, I am working
with Hashtables. But I am looking for an other solution.
How could I solve this problem?
Bets regards
Ekaterina
