Class Mention

java.lang.Object

banner.types.Mention

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<Mention>

public class Mention
extends Object
implements Comparable<Mention>

Instances of this class represent the mention of an entity within a Sentence. Mentions are defined in terms of full tokens, and therefore finding mentions (the job of a Tagger) requires tokenization first.
