(opennlp) 01/05: OPENNLP-1870: Emoji annotation record store with bundled facts and audit

This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/opennlp.git

commit b7fbcd9bb9000287e2cecefe7a6b9a40be37056d
Author: Kristian Rickert <kr...@gmail.com>

    OPENNLP-1870: Emoji annotation record store with bundled facts and audit
    
    Adds the bundled-facts layer of the emoji annotation record store: a
    provenance-tagged, project-authored attribute table (emoji-annotations.txt)
    loaded by EmojiAnnotations into per-symbol EmojiAnnotation records.
    
    - Attribute-row format (codepoints ; attribute ; value ; source ; notes), so
      adding an attribute later is new rows plus loader support instead of a file
      format break, and every value carries its own provenance.
    - Attributes: name (CLDR short name, CLDR:annotation), sentiment (project
      judgment on a coarse -2..2 scale, UNSPECIFIED), entityType and category
      (assigned from the emoji-test.txt subgroup/group headers, UCD:emoji-test).
      No third-party sentiment data set is copied; in particular the CC BY-SA
      Emoji Sentiment Ranking is not used in any form.
    - The loader fails loud on an unknown attribute or malformed row
      (IllegalArgumentException naming the resource and line): the data and the
      code move together, so an unrecognized attribute is corruption, not
      extensibility. Values are validated into their typed domains at load.
    - Lookups strip U+FE0F, since presentation selection does not change a
      symbol's identity.
    - Audit tests pin coverage (every EMOJI-direction source of
      emoji-emoticons.txt has a complete four-attribute record), per-attribute
      provenance tags, typed domains, and the record/row counts (40/160).
    - LICENSE/NOTICE/NOTICE.template attribution for the Unicode-derived values
      (CLDR short names, emoji-test.txt group/subgroup classifications) in the
      otherwise project-authored table.
    
    Flag emoji intentionally have no bundled rows; their region decodes from the
    code point sequence itself in the derived-facts layer (next commit), and
    gazetteer identifiers are never baked into bundled data.
    
    Part of the OPENNLP-1852 epic. Stacks on OPENNLP-1869.

+/**
+ * The annotation record of one emoji: an extensible per-symbol store of attribute values, each
+ * carrying its own provenance. A record is assembled from up to three strictly separated layers:
+ * bundled facts from {@code emoji-annotations.txt} (see {@link EmojiAnnotations}), derived facts
+ * computed from the code point sequence itself, and joined facts resolved at run time against
+ * user-installed data. The typed accessors ({@link #name()}, {@link #sentiment()},
+ * {@link #entityType()}, {@link #category()}) are projections of the {@link #attributes()} map,
+ * so an attribute added later is new rows plus an accessor, not a shape change.
+ *
+ * <p>Every attribute is optional: a consumer that only wants one dimension pays nothing for the
+ * rest, and a record never fabricates a value it has no source for. Instances are immutable and
+ * thread-safe.</p>

+ * are not {@link Dimension} constants; see {@link EmojiAnnotations} for the design note.</p>

+# Bundled emoji annotation facts, authored by this project. This is the bundled-facts layer of
+# the emoji annotation record store (loaded by EmojiAnnotations): one row per attribute of one
+# pictograph, so adding an attribute later is new rows plus loader support instead of a file
+# format break, and every value carries its own provenance. Row format:
+#
+#   codepoints ; attribute ; value ; source ; notes
+#
+# codepoints is the space-separated hexadecimal code point sequence of the pictograph, keyed
+# without U+FE0F VARIATION SELECTOR-16 (the emoji presentation selector); lookups strip it,
+# because presentation selection does not change a symbol's identity.
+#
+# Attributes and their provenance:
+#   name        The CLDR short name as printed in the upstream emoji-test.txt (Emoji
+#               Keyboard/Display Test Data for UTS #51, version 17.0); source CLDR:annotation.
+#   sentiment   A project-authored coarse polarity score, an integer in -2..2; original work,
+#               source UNSPECIFIED, the explicit marker for a project judgment. No third-party
+#               sentiment data set is copied here; in particular the Emoji Sentiment Ranking
+#               (CC BY-SA) is NOT used in any form.
+#   entityType  A coarse entity type (an EmojiEntityType constant), assigned by this project
+#               from the subgroup header of the upstream emoji-test.txt; source UCD:emoji-test,
+#               the subgroup is cited in the notes.
+#   category    A document-category hint (an EmojiCategory constant), the group header of the
+#               upstream emoji-test.txt; source UCD:emoji-test, the group is cited in the notes.
+#
+# The loader fails loud on an unknown attribute or a malformed row: the data and the code move
+# together, so an unrecognized attribute is corruption, not extensibility.
+#
+# Coverage claim (audited by EmojiAnnotationsTest): every pictograph that emoji-emoticons.txt
+# folds (every EMOJI-direction source, presentation selector stripped) has a record here, and
+# every record carries all four attributes.
+#
+# Flag emoji deliberately have no rows: their region decodes algorithmically from the code point
+# sequence (the derived-facts layer), and gazetteer identifiers are never baked into bundled data
+# (they churn, the gazetteer is an optional download, and baked identifiers would couple this
+# file's version to the gazetteer's version; the joined-facts layer resolves them at run time).
+#
+# Code points, names, and group/subgroup headers checked against emoji-test.txt version 17.0.
+#
+# A line starting with '#' is a comment; data rows carry no inline comments. The notes column is
+# the fifth and final field, so it may contain ';'.
