Regex in anno names and namespaces?

[thomaskrause]

I got a question from Jena about Regex in annotation names and namespaces. Not sure if we want to realize this, we thought about it once for Falko - the DB can probably handle it but the AQL grammar would need an adjustment. I could imagine this syntax:

/namesp.ce/:/an{2}o/="value"

So the slashes tell the parser that the anno name or namespace is a regular expression. Let's discuss this before deciding if we should implement this request.

I would also like this feature, so that the annolevel can be underspecified. A related thing is an "or" operator, e.g.:

pos="ART" | tok=/di[st]/ &
pos="NN" &
korpling/ANNIS#1 . korpling/ANNIS#2

in the case that the tagger did not recognize Standard Berlin articles and you want all article noun combinations.
