Action

Synopsis

Applies action expressions on selected elements.

Description

Action evaluates commit as a list of elements, then target as a list of elements on each commit element, then action on each target element.

Action is useful when action is a side-effect expression. The side-effect expressions allowed are controlled by: createDocuments , createSections , createRelations , createTuples , createAnnotations , setArguments , setFeatures and deleteElements . If these parameters are not set to true then Action will refuse to evaluate the corresponding side-effect expressions.

Action commits the changes on the data structure when each commit element is done. When processing very large corpora, set commit to reach documents or sections.
