public class XmlDocumentFormat
extends TextualDocumentFormat

The format of Documents. Subclasses of DocumentFormat know about particular MIME types and how to unpack the information in any markup or formatting they contain into GATE annotations. Each MIME type has its own subclass of DocumentFormat, e.g. XmlDocumentFormat, RtfDocumentFormat, MpegDocumentFormat. These classes register themselves with a static index residing here when they are constructed. Static getDocumentFormat methods can then be used to get the appropriate format class for a particular document.

Method Detail

supportsRepositioning

public Boolean supportsRepositioning()

We could collect repositioning information during XML parsing

Overrides:

supportsRepositioning in class DocumentFormat

unpackMarkup

public void unpackMarkup(Document doc)
                  throws DocumentFormatException

Old style of unpackMarkup (without collecting of RepositioningInfo)

Overrides:

unpackMarkup in class TextualDocumentFormat

Throws:

DocumentFormatException

unpackMarkup

public void unpackMarkup(Document doc,
                         RepositioningInfo repInfo,
                         RepositioningInfo ampCodingInfo)
                  throws DocumentFormatException

Unpack the markup in the document. This converts markup from the native format (e.g. XML) into annotations in GATE format. Uses the markupElementsMap to determine which elements to convert, and what annotation type names to use. If the document was created from a String, then is recomandable to set the doc's sourceUrl to null. So, if the document has a valid URL, then the parser will try to parse the XML document pointed by the URL.If the URL is not valid, or is null, then the doc's content will be parsed. If the doc's content is not a valid XML then the parser might crash.

Overrides:

unpackMarkup in class TextualDocumentFormat

Parameters:

doc - The gate document you want to parse. If doc.getSourceUrl() returns null then the content of doc will be parsed. Using a URL is recomended because the parser will report errors corectlly if the XML document is not well formed.

Throws:

DocumentFormatException

isGateXmlFormat

protected static boolean isGateXmlFormat(String content)

Determine whether the given document content string represents a GATE custom format XML document.

init

public Resource init()
              throws ResourceInstantiationException

Initialise this resource, and return it.

Specified by:

init in interface Resource

Overrides:

init in class TextualDocumentFormat

Throws:

ResourceInstantiationException
