Hi Andy,

We have been using Uima-as here, but with no third-party wrappings.  We have 
set it up to run in standalone and lsf cluster environments, but everything is 
out-of-box with a few custom bash scripts to set environment settings, etc.

Subject: Update: UMLS, cTAKES, and UIMA for applications in genomics

Hi all:

I'm writing to update about my efforts to make a cTAKES "out of the box" VM 
with UMLS support. My specific use cases are for annotating DNA test results, 
so both publication text and patient notes are important towards this goal.

cTAKES VM.
=================
Wrote bash scripts to download and install cTAKES on Ubuntu.
Will provide interfaces for REST endpoints for each service (Clojure).


UMLS Services
============
Wrote Clojure/REST services for invoking the MetamapAPI and looking up 
concepts/synonym entries in the UMLS. Will do the same for cTAKES in the 
upcoming months.


Semantic Representation
====================
Is anyone else using UMLS SemRep <http://semrep.nlm.nih.gov/>?
These annotations provide secondary evidence for the cTAKES medication  and 
co-reference parsers, as well as additional annotations for other semantic 
types.


Genetic variant parser (HGVS)
========================
Reece Hart released a standard HGVS
parser<https://bitbucket.org/invitae/hgvs>which I intend to include in the VM 
distribution as an optional UIMA pipeline (callout REST service).


Scalability: UIMA Async Scaleout with Fit ================================= I'm 
planning on using Clojuima <https://github.com/jimpil/clojuima> to scale at my 
company.
Is everyone else using UIMA-AS as well, or planning to?
