"""

Code for extracting relational triples from the ieer and conll2002 corpora.



Relations are stored internally as dictionaries ('reldicts').



The two serialization outputs are "rtuple" and "clause".



- An rtuple is a tuple of the form ``(subj, filler, obj)``,

  where ``subj`` and ``obj`` are pairs of Named Entity mentions, and ``filler`` is the string of words

  occurring between ``sub`` and ``obj`` (with no intervening NEs). Strings are printed via ``repr()`` to

  circumvent locale variations in rendering utf-8 encoded strings.

- A clause is an atom of the form ``relsym(subjsym, objsym)``,

  where the relation, subject and object have been canonicalized to single strings.
