Try adding org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.types.TypeSystem
as the type system. So the source looks like: <typeSystemDescription> <imports> <import name="org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.types.TypeSystem"/> </imports> </typeSystemDescription> Hope that helps -- James From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of digital paula Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2013 1:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: cTakes Document Preprocessor Component Error Hello cTakes Community, I'm back after hanging out with the UIMA guys :-) for a while, getting a better grasp of the UIMA framework that cTakes sits on. I'm exploring and understanding cTakes components and starting with the Document Preprocessor: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+3.0+-+Document+Preprocessor I loaded the testpatient_cn_1.xml file in the CVD cTakes launcher and loaded the AggregateAE descriptor. It loaded but when I ran it, I got the following error: Caused by: org.apache.uima.cas.CASRuntimeException: JCas type "org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textspan.Segment" used in Java code, but was not declared in the XML type descriptor. I looked in the AggregatorAE descriptor file along with it's dependency CdaCasInitializer.xml and see both have nothing in the Type System tab however I do see a handful of types specified on the Capabilities tab including "org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textspan.Segment" So I added Segment type to the Type System tab. I reran and got this error: 11/14/13 2:23:39 PM - 14: org.apache.uima.tools.cvd.MainFrame.handleException(527): SEVERE: Feature "id" is not defined for type "org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textspan.Segment". org.apache.uima.analysis_engine.AnalysisEngineProcessException: Feature "id" is not defined for type "org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.textspan.Segment". Is there a file descriptor already setup maybe in another install with the necessary types/features to run the Document Preprocessor or will I manually have to add all of them? If not, I'd like to use UIMAfit to create the types/features to use with the Document Preprocessor as opposed to manually updating this descriptor with all the types and features needed. Can someone advise? Thanks. Regards, Paula
