public class HNSSiGMLNonManuals
extends java.lang.Object

A collection of static data and method definitions relating to the non-manual aspects of a sign as represented in the <hamnosys_nonmanual> element used in HML and HNS-SiGML. The methods provided here support conversion in either direction between the children of a <hamnosys_nonmanual> element and the corresponding string of non-manual tags forming the non-manual component of an HNSSign.

static java.lang.String[] EYES_TAG_LISTS
          Space-separated lists of tags for eye-related HNS non-manuals, with one list for each of the following articulators: eye-gaze, eye-brows, eye-lids; each tag is a string containing exactly two upper-case letters.
static java.lang.String MOUTH_GESTURE_LETTERS
          HML/HNS-SiGML non-manual letter codes for the different categories of mouth gesture: Teeth (D), Jaws, Lips, Cheeks, Tongue.
static int[] MOUTH_GESTURE_TAG_LIMITS
          Counts of mouth-gesture non-manual in each of the following categories: Teeth (D), Jaws, Lips, Cheeks, Tongue.
static char MOUTH_PICTURE_LETTER
          HML/HNS-SiGML non-manual letter code for a mouth picture
static java.lang.String[] NON_MOUTH_RELATED_HNM_TAGS
          The HML non-manual element tags related to the following articulators: shoulders, body, head, eyes, nose -- but with a null entry for the eyes, for which there are three distinct tags, held in EYE_RELATED_HML_TAGS.
static java.lang.String NON_MOUTH_RELATED_LETTERS
          HML/HNS-SiGML non-manual letter codes for all categories except for the mouth-related ones: shoulders, body, head, eyes, nose.
static java.lang.String[] NON_MOUTH_TAG_LISTS
          Space-separated lists of tags for HNS non-manuals non-manuals, with one list for each of the following articulators: shoulders, body, head, eyes (gaze, brows and lids), nose; each tag is a string containing exactly two upper-case letters.
 
Method Summary
static java.lang.String checkAndNormalizeNMTag(java.lang.String nmtag)
          Checks that the given HNST non-manual primitive tag is valid: if so this method returns the tag itself in its normalized form; otherwise it returns null.
static java.lang.String hnsNMAttrName(java.lang.String hnstnm)
          Returns the HML/HNS-SiGML non-manual attribute tag for the given HNST non-manual token, which is assumed to be valid; for a mouth-picture token, the tag is "picture", while in all other cases it is "tag".
static java.lang.String hnsNMAttrValue(java.lang.String hnstnm)
          Returns the HML/HNS-SiGML non-manual attribute value for the given HNST non-manual token, which is assumed to be valid.
static java.lang.String hnsNMElementTag(java.lang.String hnstnm)
          Returns the HML/HNS-SiGML non-manual element tag for the given HNST non-manual token, which is assumed to be valid.
static java.lang.String hnsNMTokenForNMElement(org.w3c.dom.Element nmtagel)
          Determines the HNSSign (or old HNST) non-manual token for a given HML/HNS-SiGML non-manual DOM element.
static java.lang.String hnsNMTokenForNMElement(java.lang.String nmeltag, org.xml.sax.Attributes nmattrs)
           
static java.lang.String xmlAttrValueString(java.lang.String aval)
          Converts an XML attribute value string to a correct form in which special characters -- '<', '&', etc.

Method Detail

checkAndNormalizeNMTag

public static final java.lang.String checkAndNormalizeNMTag(java.lang.String nmtag)
Checks that the given HNST non-manual primitive tag is valid: if so this method returns the tag itself in its normalized form; otherwise it returns null. The normalized form depends on the articulator, as follows:


hnsNMElementTag

public static final java.lang.String hnsNMElementTag(java.lang.String hnstnm)
Returns the HML/HNS-SiGML non-manual element tag for the given HNST non-manual token, which is assumed to be valid.


hnsNMAttrName

public static final java.lang.String hnsNMAttrName(java.lang.String hnstnm)
Returns the HML/HNS-SiGML non-manual attribute tag for the given HNST non-manual token, which is assumed to be valid; for a mouth-picture token, the tag is "picture", while in all other cases it is "tag".


hnsNMAttrValue

public static final java.lang.String hnsNMAttrValue(java.lang.String hnstnm)
Returns the HML/HNS-SiGML non-manual attribute value for the given HNST non-manual token, which is assumed to be valid.


xmlAttrValueString

public static final java.lang.String xmlAttrValueString(java.lang.String aval)
Converts an XML attribute value string to a correct form in which special characters -- '<', '&', etc. -- are replaced by the appropriate character entities.


hnsNMTokenForNMElement

public static final java.lang.String hnsNMTokenForNMElement(java.lang.String nmeltag,
                                                            org.xml.sax.Attributes nmattrs)

hnsNMTokenForNMElement

public static final java.lang.String hnsNMTokenForNMElement(org.w3c.dom.Element nmtagel)
Determines the HNSSign (or old HNST) non-manual token for a given HML/HNS-SiGML non-manual DOM element.
