Serializable, Cloneable

public class NLDocument
extends edu.illinois.cs.cogcomp.lbjava.parse.LinkedVector

Use this class to represent a natural language document. SentenceSplitter and Sentence.wordSplit() are used to represent the text of the document internally as a collection of vectors of words. As such, the text of the document is assumed plain, i.e. there should not be any mark-up.
