Detailed Description

This class represents a description of a single step in Pepper.

A step is a conceptual unit, to which exactly one org.corpus_tools.pepper.modules.PepperModule instance belongs to. Such a step can belong to either the import phase, the manipulation phase or the export phase.
This class is used as a communication bridge between the Pepper framework and the outside. When using Pepper as a library or a service, one can create StepDesc object which an abstract description of which module is to use (by setting the name of module and its version) and in case of the module is an importer or an exporter, the description of the path, where the corpus is located.
The main fields of this class are:

• name - the name of the org.corpus_tools.pepper.modules.PepperModule to be used to identify org.corpus_tools.pepper.modules.PepperModule
• version - the version of the org.corpus_tools.pepper.modules.PepperModule to be used to identify the org.corpus_tools.pepper.modules.PepperModule
• corpusDesc - an object describing the corpus to be imported or exported (just in case of the org.corpus_tools.pepper.modules.PepperModule is a org.corpus_tools.pepper.modules.PepperImporter or a org.corpus_tools.pepper.modules.PepperExporter ). This object contains a description of the format (name and version) and a path, where to find the corpus.
• props - a general property object (see: Properties) to customize the mapping process
