public abstract class Perspectivation
extends Object

A perspectivation relative to an offset in a document.

Conceptually, perspectivation is a process that turns a conceptual/semantic representation into a textual representation - i.e. choosing words and syntactic structures to express meaning. This class represents rather low-level operations that are used during a perspectivation process to turn a document that contains a conceptual/semantic representation that could also be used as textual representation into a text optimized for human readers.

The offset of a perspectivation is relative to the offset of the positions it belongs to. Since positions in a document are updated when the document is changed, the perspectivation remains applicable even after document modifications.
