Description: qante - Query ANnotated TExt
        ============================
        
        Motivation
        ----------
        
        Extracting the highly-valuable data from unstructured text often
        results in hard-to-read, brittle, difficult-to-maintain code.
        The problem is that using regular expressions directly embedded
        in the program control flow does not provide the best level of
        abstraction. We propose a query language (based on the tuple
        relational calculus) that facilitates data extraction.
        Developers can explicitly express their intent declaratively,
        making their code much easier to write, read, and maintain.
        
        Solution
        --------
        
        This package allows programmers to express what they are searching
        for by using higher-level concepts to express their query as tags,
        locations, and expressions on location relations.
        
        The *location* of a string of characters within the document is
        the interval defining its starting and ending position.
        
        Locations are grouped into sets named by *tags*.  Tags can be
        used in conjunctions and disjunctions of interval relations to
        query for tuples of locations.
