Summary
The Sequenced Across Paragraphs In Document Context looks for sequenced paragraphs (i.e. they are in a specific order). These can be separated by any number of paragraphs to skip. However, the extractor does not require skips, nor does it require anchors: it does require at least one fact.
- Sequenced Across Paragraphs In Document contexts are a subset of Sequenced Across Contexts
- See Sequenced Across Sentences In Document for a worked example of Sequenced Across Contexts.
Usage Notes
Use this context when the anchors and facts you are interested in are contained in sequential paragraphs within a document. If you use the “loose” metadata attribute, the sequence will also look within the same paragraph for a fact and anchor. Note that the elements of this context must be listed in the correct sequence using the ORDERED LIST in the Narrower Concepts section.
