This code may help you to create your own XML::Loy extensions.
This module is an early release! There may be significant changes in the future.
XML::Loy::XStandoff inherits all methods from XML::Loy and implements the following new ones.
my $corpus = XML::Loy::XStandoff->new('corpus');
my $cd = XML::Loy::XStandoff->new('corpusData');Create a new XML::Loy::XStandoff document, either as a corpus or a corpusData element.
my $anno = $cd->annotation;
$cd->annotation->add('level');Retrieve an annotation element and set it, if it doesn't exist (along with a corpusData element).
$corpus->corpus_data(id => 'cd-1');
my $cd = $corpus->corpus_data('cd-1');
my $cd = $corpus->corpus_data;Get or add corpus data to the corpus. accepts a parameter hash for setting or a single id parameter for getting. Giving no parameter will return the first corpus data node. If no corpus data exists, a new node is introduced with an autogenerated id.
my $lay = $a->layer('xml:id' => 'lay-1');
my $lay = $a->layer('lay-1');
my $lay = $a->layer;Add an annotation layer to the annotation level or retrieve it.
Accepts a hash of attributes for adding a new layer element.
For retrieval it accepts an id value. If no value is passed, the first element in document order is returned. In case no layer element exists, it is created (along with a level, an annotation, and a corpusData element).
my $lev = $a->level('xml:id' => 'lev-1');
my $lev = $a->level('lev-1');
my $lev = $a->level;Add an annotation level to the annotation or retrieve it.
Accepts a hash of attributes for adding a new level element.
For retrieval it accepts an id value. If no value is passed, the first element in document order is returned. In case no level element exists, it is created (along with an annotation and a corpusData element).
my $meta = $cd->meta;
$cd->meta->add('dc:title' => 'My title');
$cd->meta(uri => '/meta.xml');
$cd->meta(file => '/meta.xml');
$cd->meta(uri => 'http://.../meta.xml');
$cd->meta(as => [-Loy, -DublinCore])->dc('Title');Set meta information of the current node or retrieve it.
If no parameter is given, the content of the meta element is returned. If no meta element exists, but a metaRef element exists, the referenced document is returned (either from a local file or an URI). If a parameter as is given, the passed array reference is used to transform the document using the as method of XML::Loy. If no meta document is associated to the node, it is created empty.
If a file parameter is passed, the content of the document is embedded as a child of the meta element. If a uri parameter is passed, a metaRef node is created.
Note: External meta documents will be extended with XML::Loy::File and thus have to be stored separately when changed.
my $pd = $cd->primary_data('xml:id' => 'pd-1');
my $pd = $cd->primary_data('pd-1');
my $pd = $cd->primary_data;Add primary data to corpus data or retrieve it.
Accepts a hash of attributes for adding a new primaryData element.
For retrieval it accepts an id value. If no value is passed, the first element in document order is returned. In case no primaryData element exists, it is created (along with a corpusData element).
print $lay->at('token')->segment_content;
print $cd->segment('seg-1')->segment_content;
$lay->at('token')->segment_content('new');
$lay->at('token')->segment_content(sub {
return lc $_[0];
});Retrieve, replace or modify the content of a specific segment. If invoked by a segment node, takes this segment, otherwise takes the xsf:segment attribute value of the invoking node.
If no parameter is given, returns the textual content of the segment. Accepts a string parameter, that replaces the textual content of the segment. Accepts a callback method, that accepts the textual content of the segment and returns a string to replace the textual content.
On change, the primary data (either embedded or on a local filesystem) and segments are updated.
my $seg = $cd->segmentation;
$cd->segmentation->add('segment');Retrieve a segmentation element and set it, if it doesn't exist (along with a corpusData element.
my $seg = $cd->segment('seg-1');
print $seg->attr('start');
my $seg_id = $cd->segment(14, 20);
my $seg_id = $cd->segment(14, 20);
$cd->segment('seg-1', 14, 21);Add or retrieve segments.
Accepts a segment id for retrieving a segment. Accepts two integers for defining start and end position of the segment. Accepts a segment id, followed by two integers for modifying start and end position of the segment.
$lay->add('token')->seg('seg-1');
# <token xsf:segment="seg-1" />
print $lay->at('token')->seg;
# seg-1Attach segment information to arbitrary elements or retrieve it.
$pd->textual_content(uri => '/text.txt');
$pd->textual_content(uri => 'http://.../text.txt');
$pd->textual_content(file => '/text.txt');
$pd->textual_content('Hello World');
print $pd->textual_content;Add textual data to corpus data or retrieve it.
If no parameter is given, the content of the textualContent element is returned as an XML::Loy::XStandoff::Data object. If no textualContent element exists, but a primaryDataRef element exists, the referenced document is returned (either from a local file or an URI). If no textual content is associated to the primary data, it is created empty and returned as an XML::Loy::XStandoff::Data object.
If a file parameter is passed, the content of the file is embedded as the content of the textualContent element. If a uri parameter is passed, a primaryDataRef node is created.
Note: External textual content files referenced by a URI cannot be altered using segment_content.
