Class PlaceEvidence

java.lang.Object
org.opensextant.data.GeoBase
org.opensextant.data.Place
org.opensextant.extractors.geo.PlaceEvidence
All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparable<Object>, org.opensextant.data.Geocoding, org.opensextant.data.LatLon
public final class PlaceEvidence extends org.opensextant.data.Place implements Comparable<Object>
A PlaceEvidence represents a fragment of evidence about a Place. Its intended purpose is to represent evidence about a Place's identity which has been extracted from a document. This evidence is used to help disambiguate (distinguish among) places which have the same or similar names. It is intentionally very similar to the Place class to facilitate comparisons with that class.

    Description
    static enum 
    PlaceEvidence.Scope
    SCOPE - Where did this evidence come from wrt to the PlaceCandidate it is part of? APRIORI - derived from the gazetteer only, not from any information in the document LOCAL - directly associated with this instance of PC COREF - associated with another (related) PC in the document MERGED - came from the merger of multiple PlaceEvidences (future use) DOCUMENT - in the same document but has no other direct association
