Indexes on array properties

[michael]

For Lens I'd like to access all figure_refs for a given node. So I'd have to tell the index that it should take the nodeid which corresponds to the first element from path.

  "figure_refs_by_node": {
    "type": "figure_reference",
    "properties": ["path[0]"] // no idea how to specify that
  }

Desired usage:

doc.find('figur_refs_by_node', 'paragraph_12');

Hmm.. seems like I can use the annotator to do that.

docController.getAnnotations({
  node: "paragraph_12",
  filter: function() { return return a.type ==='figure_reference';}
});

works for me for now.. maybe we can optimize this a little bit. does the annotator use any kind of indexing?

I have implemented an hierarchical index in the annotator... We could
extract and provide it via API. And maybe also activate the index via
schema... Though, I am not totally sure if it should be that way or the
application should activate the indxes it needs...

Good point. Not sure if indices should be specified on the schema or invoked by the application. The latter is fine for me.
