Interface IUnitizingAnnotationUnit

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<IUnitizingAnnotationUnit>, IAnnotationUnit, java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

UnitizingAnnotationUnit

public interface IUnitizingAnnotationUnit
extends IAnnotationUnit, java.lang.Comparable<IUnitizingAnnotationUnit>

Extension of the IAnnotationUnit interface for representing the annotation units of IUnitizingAnnotationStudys. That is, an annotation unit that models the position of the unit within the continuum of an annotation study and the category assigned to this unit by a certain rater. Implement this interface when measuring inter-rater agreement using a IUnitizingAgreementMeasure.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
long	getEndOffset()	Returns the right delimiter of the annotation unit (i.e., the end position of the identified segment).
long	getLength()	Returns the length of the annotation unit (i.e., the difference between the end and start position of the identified segment).
long	getOffset()	Returns the offset of the annotation unit (i.e., the start position of the identified segment).

Method Details

getOffset

long getOffset()

Returns the offset of the annotation unit (i.e., the start position of the identified segment).

getLength

long getLength()

Returns the length of the annotation unit (i.e., the difference between the end and start position of the identified segment).

getEndOffset

long getEndOffset()

Returns the right delimiter of the annotation unit (i.e., the end position of the identified segment). The method is a shorthand for getOffset() + getLength().
