Combine information from multiple entries in a lower-level source table to a higher-level target table.

Usage

lowerToHigher(
  simpleDF = NULL,
  complexDF,
  complexNodeMap = NULL,
  fieldnames,
  higherFieldnames = "",
  action,
  seqName = "docTokenSeq",
  tokenListName = "tokenList",
  simpleDFAddress = "",
  complexNodeMapAddress = "",
  rezrObj = NULL,
  fieldaccess = "foreign"
)

Arguments

simpleDF: The rezrDF containing simple information (source rezrDF).
complexDF: The rezrDF to contain complex information from the simple table (target rezrDF).
complexNodeMap: The node map corresponding to the complex (target) rezrDF
fieldnames: The field names in the simple rezrDF whose information is to be extracted.
higherFieldnames: The field names in the complex rezrDF whose information is to be extracted.
action: The action to be performed on the data from the source rezrDF
seqName: The name of the sequence field in the source (simple) rezrDF.
tokenListName: The name of the list of foreign keys in the target table.
simpleDFAddress: An address to the simple (source) rezrDF, e.g. 'unitDF' or 'chunkDF/refexpr'. Only needed if you want an automatic update function, i.e. for 'foreign' fields.
complexNodeMapAddress: An address to the complex (target) rezrDF. You don't need the 'nodeMap/' oart or the layer; just type the name of the entity (e.g. track, chunk). Only needed if you want an automatic update function, i.e. for 'foreign' fields.
rezrObj: A rezrObj object.
fieldaccess: The field access value of the field. If not set to foreign, no update function will be automatically added.

Value

The modified target table (complexDF). Most use cases should be handled by other functions like addUnitSeq and addIsWordField. If you do call this function, do note that the rezrDF you are changing is the second parameter, not the first. As such, piping should be done like this: someDF %>% getSeqBounds(simpleDF, ., complexNodeMap, ...)
