public interface SAbstractAnnotation
extends Label, SAnnotationContainer

An annotation in Salt is an attribute-value-pair and can belong to either a node, an edge, a graph, a layer or another label. An attribute-value-pair is a triple which consists of a namespace, a name and a value (namespace:name=value). The combination of name and namespace is used to identify a label and therefore must be unique. The namespace is an optional value, to distinguish in case of there are two annotations having the same name. For instance a node etc. can have a label stts:pos=VVFIN as well as the label pos:VV to annotate it with two part-of-speech annotations from different tagsets.

SFeature objects are used to store structural information of Salt, which are necessary to map a linguistic model to a graph. For instance SFeature added to the relation between a token and a primary text contain the start and end position of the token in the primary text. In the very most cases a user of the Salt api will never need to use a SFeature object.

Method Detail

getValueType

SDATATYPE getValueType()

Returns the value of the 'SValue Type' attribute. The literals are from the enumeration de.hu_berlin.german.korpling.saltnpepper.salt.saltCore.SDATATYPE. If no SDATATYPE was set, a value will be computed. Here is the list of how java objects will be mapped to a SDATATYPE value.

• null--> SDATATYPE.SOBJECT
• String --> SDATATYPE.STEXT
• Boolean --> SDATATYPE.SBOOLEAN
• Integer --> SDATATYPE.SNUMERIC
• Long --> SDATATYPE.SNUMERIC
• Double --> SDATATYPE.SFLOAT
• Float --> SDATATYPE.SFLOAT
• URI --> SDATATYPE.SURI
• else --> SDATATYPE.SOBJECT

Returns:

the value of the 'SValue Type' attribute.

setValueType

void setValueType(SDATATYPE value)

getValue_STEXT

String getValue_STEXT()

Returns the sValue attribute of this object as String representation. If the sValue is of type String it will be returned, else the #toString() method will be called. If no value is given, null will be returned.

Returns:

String representation of the sValue attribute.

getValue_SBOOLEAN

Boolean getValue_SBOOLEAN()

Returns the sValue attribute of this object as Boolean if possible. If the value is not of type Boolean or is empty, null will be returned.

Returns:

Boolean representation of the sValue attribute.

getValue_SNUMERIC

Long getValue_SNUMERIC()

Returns the sValue attribute of this object as Long if possible. If the value is not of type Long or is empty, null will be returned.

Returns:

Long representation of the sValue attribute.

getValue_SFLOAT

Double getValue_SFLOAT()

Returns the sValue attribute of this object as Float if possible. If the value is not of type Float or is empty, null will be returned.

Returns:

Float representation of the sValue attribute.

getValue_SURI

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.URI getValue_SURI()

Returns the sValue attribute of this object as URI if possible. If the value is not of type URI or is empty, null will be returned.

Returns:

URI representation of the sValue attribute.

getValue_SOBJECT

Object getValue_SOBJECT()

Returns the the sValue attribute of this object as the original object. This will always work as long as sValue is not empty. If the sValue attribute is empty null will be returned.

Returns:

Object representation of the sValue attribute
