## Class Conll02NameSampleStream

- java.lang.Object
- - opennlp.tools.formats.Conll02NameSampleStream

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    AutoCloseable, ObjectStream<NameSample>

      public class Conll02NameSampleStream
      extends Object
      implements ObjectStream<NameSample>

  Parser for the dutch and spanish ner training files of the CONLL 2002 shared task.

  The dutch data has a -DOCSTART- tag to mark article boundaries, adaptive data in the feature generators will be cleared before every article.
  The spanish data does not contain article boundaries, adaptive data will be cleared for every sentence.

  The data contains four named entity types: Person, Organization, Location and Misc.

  Data can be found on this web site:

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### read

          public NameSample read()
                          throws IOException

      Description copied from interface: `ObjectStream`
      Returns the next object. Calling this method repeatedly until it returns null will return each object from the underlying source exactly once.
      Specified by:
        `read` in interface `ObjectStream<NameSample>`
      Returns:
        the next object or null to signal that the stream is exhausted
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if there is an error during reading

    - #### reset

          public void reset()
                     throws IOException,
                            UnsupportedOperationException

      Description copied from interface: `ObjectStream`
      Repositions the stream at the beginning and the previously seen object sequence will be repeated exactly. This method can be used to re-read the stream if multiple passes over the objects are required. The implementation of this method is optional.
      Specified by:
        `reset` in interface `ObjectStream<NameSample>`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if there is an error during reseting the stream
        `UnsupportedOperationException`

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws IOException

      Description copied from interface: `ObjectStream`
      Closes the `ObjectStream` and releases all allocated resources. After close was called its not allowed to call read or reset.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `ObjectStream<NameSample>`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if there is an error during closing the stream
