Interface Annotator

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractAnnotator, ComposingAnnotator, WholeDocumentLanguageDispatchAnnotator
public interface Annotator
An Annotator annotates text with attributes. Typical annotations are tokens, script/language regions, morphological analyses, sentences, base noun phrases, and entities. A single annotator operates in one language; while the data model supports multi-language texts, this interface does not (yet) provide support.
