MatchAction[]

Synopsis

Converts into an array of acions for PatternMatcher .

String conversion

String conversion is not available for this type.

XML conversion

The parameter element accepts any number of children elements. Each child element is converted into a single action. Available actions are:

<addToLayer group="GROUP_NAME" layer="LAYER_NAME"/>

Add all annotations in GROUP sub-pattern to the layer specified by LAYER_NAME . If the group attribute is not specified, then add all annotations in the match.

<createAnnotation features="FEATURES" group="GROUP_NAME" layer="LAYER_NAME"/>

Create an annotation that spans over the GROUP sub-pattern. If the group attribute is not specified, then the created annotation spans over the whole match. The created annotation is added to the layer LAYER_NAME and the features specified in FEATURES are added. The features follow the syntax described in the string conversion of Mapping .

<removeAnnotations group="GROUP_NAME" layer="LAYER_NAME"/>

Remove all annotations in GROUP sub-pattern from the layer named LAYER_NAME . If the group attribute is not specified, then all annotations of the match are removed. If LAYER_NAME is the same as the matched layer, then annotation removal is effective after all matches have been processed in the layer.

<setFeatures features="FEATURES" group="GROUP_NAME" layer="LAYER_NAME"/>

Add features to all annotations in GROUP sub-pattern. If the group attribute is not specified, then features are added to all annotations of the match. The features follow the syntax described in the string conversion of Mapping .

<createTuple arguments="ARGS" features="FEATURES" relation="RELATION_NAME"/>

Create a tuple in relation specified by RELATION_NAME for each match. Features specified by FEATURES are added to the created tuple. The features follow the syntax described in the string conversion of Mapping . ARGS is a comma separated list of arguments. Each argument must be in the form: ROLE=GROUP , where ROLE is a role name and GROUP is the name of a sub-pattern group. The argument is added with the specified role iff the specified group can be associated with a single annotation: the group matches a sequence of exactly one annotation or the group is the target of a createAnnotation action.
