Module io.annot8.core

Package io.annot8.core.annotations

This package contains the core interfaces for annotations and groups of annotations.

An Annotation is a marking which indicates that a region of some content has some special properties or meaning. For instance, it might indicate that a span of text is a mention of an Entity (for example a Person).

A Group is a collection of annotations. For example, a group could represent a relationship between annotations, an event containing multiple annotations, or indicate that a collection of annotations refer to the same entity. Within a group, all annotations must have a role assigned (although they could all be assigned the same role).
