                  String docId,
                  AceDocument aceDoc)

adds to AceDocument aceDoc the Ace Values contained in Document doc. This method assumes that reference resolution has added entity annotations to the document. All Crimes, Sentences, and Job-Titles are added; ones which are not referenced will later be deleted by pruneAceValues.

buildAceValue

public static void buildAceValue(String id,
                 String typeSubtype,
                 Span extent,
                 AceDocument aceDoc,
                 String fileText)

constructs an AceValue and adds it to the AceDocument.

Parameters:

id - the ID of the AceValue

typeSubtype - the type and subtype of the Value

extent - the extent of the Value in the Document

aceDoc - the AceDocument to which the Value is added

filetext - the text of the Document

pruneAceValues

public static void pruneAceValues(AceDocument aceDoc)

remove AceValues of type Crime, Sentence, and Job-Title which are not referenced by an event. This is done after event detection, since values of these types are to be recorded only if reference by an event.
