Collation Providers define various methods for converting the raw extractor results of a Data Type into a final result set.
Each Data Type object defines one or more "extractors". At run time, each of these extractors is executed, producing a list of 0 or more matches on the document. If the Data Type has N extractors, then N lists will be produced. A collation provider determines how these lists will be combined into the final result set.
