Interface NamedEntitiesLayer

All Superinterfaces:

TextCorpusLayer

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface NamedEntitiesLayer
extends TextCorpusLayer

The NamedEntitiesLayer layer specifies named entity annotations on tokens. Each entity annotation references a token, or sequence of tokens, that represents this entity and specifies a named entity class (e.g. person, location, etc.). The layer specifies a tagset (as the value of the type attribute) used for named entity type tags.
