All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable

public class ToStripNecNos
extends Transformation
implements java.lang.Cloneable

This class strips NEC and NOS from a specified term. NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) and NEC (Not Elsewhere Classified) can be found as part of Metathesaurus concept names. This class has following features:

• strip NEC AND NOS
• Strip NEC/NOS$
• Strip NEC, NOS$
• Strip ,NEC$
• Strip ,NOS$
• Strip , NEC$
• Strip , NOS$
• Strip (NEC)
• Strip (NOS)
• Strip NEC
• Strip NOS
• Remove ',' if it is at the end of the stripped output.

where $ is the end the string.

The design and implementation of this class is not general. More details specification need to be addressed, such as in the case of ", NEC" & ", NOS". In addition, the issue of tokenizing and puncuations need to be addessed.
