This is the base class for classes that convert document annotations to GISCore features. Subclasses differ chiefly by choice of text string for the description field. For some types of documents (e.g., news articles) the sentence containing the annotation is a good choice, but for other types (e.g., spreadsheets) sentence splitting may not be successful and the line of text containing the annotation is a better choice.
