Sometimes in linguistics you want to set nodes into a relationship without adding a set semantic or a hierarchical relation.
You sometimes just need an interlinking mechanism. Such a relation is the type SPointingRelation . A pointing relation in Salt allows to relate any kind of nodes with each other. In general, this type of relation has no semantics and could be used for a wide range of annotations, which does not group or structure nodes. For instance, this could be very helpful for a dependency analysis or coreferential chains etc. . To give an example, imagine the text:
'John was a big man ... he always had to move his head'
In this text 'John' (token t1) and 'he' (token ti) refer to the same entity. To express that in Salt, you can create a SPointingRelation object having the source t1 and the target ti , or the other way around. Now let's extend this example and imagine the text 'John Doe ... he', with the tokens t1 ('John'), t2 ('Doe') and ti ('he'). In this case, we want to set 'John Doe' as a whole in relation to 'he'. This is possible by creating a SSpan object s 1 containing t1 and t2 and relating the token t i via a SPointingRelation object to s1 . To determine a SPointingRelation being a coreferential relation or a dependency, you should use the type attribute which is available for every SRelation. Like all the other relations, SPointingRelation can be annotated to express some linguistic semantics.
