Method Details

setBuffer

public void setBuffer(String buf)

Important - set buffer so spans for tuples can be assessed.

Parameters:

buf - input buffer

complementaryPostal

public static boolean complementaryPostal(org.opensextant.data.Place geo1,
 org.opensextant.data.Place geo2)

Determine if you have one of each, ADM1 and POSTAL. COUNTRY and POSTAL is also fine. e.g., MA 01721 is a qualified postal code. e.g., MA MA is nonsense; it looks like two province codes together. e.g., Garden City NJ USA 01721 is fine. POSTAL code follows country. Garden City 01721 -- won't work if place is P/PPL only. Must be ADM4 or PPLA for example. 90120 01721 -- also will not work; Two postal codes next to each other. Garden City 01721-0045 -- Office park in a large metro area. That could work.

Parameters:

geo1 - place obj

geo2 - place obj

Returns:

true if place mentions complement each other.

public void evaluate(List<PlaceCandidate> names)

Overrides:
