Interface PTBLabel

All Known Subinterfaces:

SPTBLabel

All Known Implementing Classes:

PTBLabelImpl, SPTBLabelImpl

public interface PTBLabel

The label associated with a PTBTreeNode. The use of the various fields are explained in the PTBAttribute interface. Here are some examples:

 Example 1:

  raw: S-NOM-SBJ
  type: S
  roles: -NOM-SBJ
  movementIndex: -1
  gapIndex: -1

 Example 2:

 raw: S-TPC=2-3
 type: S
 roles: -TPC
 movementIndex: 3
 gapIndex: 2

 Example 3: (Preterminal)

 raw: -NONE-
 type:
 roles: -NONE-
 movementIndex: -1
 gapIndex: -1

 Example 4: (Terminal)

 raw: *ICH*-1
 type: *ICH*
 roles:
 movementIndex: 1
 gapIndex: -1

 Example 5: (Terminal)

 raw: Vinken
 type: Vinken
 roles:
 movementIndex: -1
 gapIndex: -1
 

 

For XPath queries, all these fields are treated as attributes of a PTBTreeNode. The name of the node is the type field. The attributes movementIndex and gapIndex are considered to exist iff they don't have the value -1. This makes it convenient, for example, to search for all sentences containing a gap using the XPath expression .[=>>::*[@gapIndex]]

Version 2 Changes: A method updateAttributesOnNode has been removed for performance reasons, and the corresponding methods removed from the PTBTreeNode interface.
