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
