Further details

person annotation is exhaustive and mentions are annotated also when nested in annotations of other types. For example, although the entire span Brown, Della Pietra and Mercer (1993) is annotated as external-reference, each of the embedded mentions Brown, Della Pietra and Mercer is annotated as person.
