public class Mapping
extends Object

This class represents the base structure of a mapping rule. Each Mapping object defines the rule name, the GATE annotation type that needs to be exported, along with the rdf:type value for the output triple. For example, a concrete rule could map an instance of the GATE Person annotation type into a triple with rdf:type foaf:Person.
