tagNames

public static void tagNames(Document doc,
            Span span)

tag names which appear in the onomasticon, adding an ENAMEX annotation with features TYPE and SUBTYPE. If there are multiple matches at a given position, the longest match is used.

If there is an existing ENAMEX annotation which overlaps but is not contained in the name in the onomasticon, the existing annotation takes precedence and no new annotation is added. If there are existing ENAMEX annotations which are contained within the name given in the onomasticon, these existing annotations are deleted.
