Class EntityType

java.lang.Object

banner.types.EntityType

public class EntityType
extends Object

Instances of this class represent the type of a Mention. Instances of this class are kept in a static cache to ensure only one instance of any type being in use. No processing is done on the text, however, so "Gene" is a different type than "GENE"
