--------------------------------
Summary: Integrate cTAKES into Tika
Key: TIKA-1642
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1642
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: parser
Reporter: Selina Chu
[~gostep] has written a preliminary version of
[CTAKESContentHandler|https://github.com/giuseppetotaro/CTAKESContentHadler] to
integrate [Apache cTAKES|http://ctakes.apache.org/] into Tika.
The CTAKESContentHandler allows to perform the following step into Tika:
* create an AnalysisEngine based on a given XML descriptor;
* create a CAS (Common Analysis System) appropriate for this AnalysisEngine;
* populate the CAS with the text extracted by using Tika;
* perform the AnalysisEngine against the plain text added to CAS;
* write out the results in the given format (XML, XCAS, XMI, etc.).
It would be great improvement if we can parse the output of cTAKES and create a
list of metadata which describes the terms found in the annotation index and
their corresponding tokens. For instance, using the
AggregatePlaintextFastUMLSProcessor analysis engine, we can utilize the UMLS
database to obtain the annotations related to DiseaseDisorderMention, and I
would like to be able to produce a list of words corresponding to the input
text which is annotated as DiseaseDisorderMention.
