    public interface TokensLayer
    extends TextCorpusLayer
    The TokensLayer is composed of token elements, each having a unique identifier and token string value. Optionally, each token can reference its start and end character offset position in relation to the character string in the text layer. The TokensLayer is the main anchor layer among layers of the TextCorpus, i.e. all other layers (with the exception of the text layer) directly or indirectly (via other layers) reference tokens.
