Method Detail

getPOS

POS getPOS()

getDescription

java.lang.String getDescription()

Return a description of the target. For a Word, this is it's lemma; for a Synset, it's the concatenated lemma's of its Words.

getLongDescription

java.lang.String getLongDescription()

Return the long description of the target. This is its description, appended by, if it exists, a dash and it's gloss.

getPointers

Pointer[] getPointers()

Return the outgoing Pointers from the target -- those Pointers that have this object as their source.

getPointers

Pointer[] getPointers(PointerType type)

Return the outgoing Pointers of type type.

getTargets

PointerTarget[] getTargets()

Return the targets of the outgoing Pointers.

getTargets

PointerTarget[] getTargets(PointerType type)

Return the targets of the outgoing Pointers that have type type.

getPointersList

java.util.List<Pointer> getPointersList()

Return the outgoing Pointers from the target -- those Pointers that have this object as their source.

getPointersList

java.util.List<Pointer> getPointersList(PointerType type)

Return the outgoing Pointers of type type.

getTargetsList

java.util.List<PointerTarget> getTargetsList()

Return the targets of the outgoing Pointers.

getTargetsList

java.util.List<PointerTarget> getTargetsList(PointerType type)

Return the targets of the outgoing Pointers that have type type.
