Hi Pei,
Thanks so much for the prompt response.
Question 1: I forgot that one can use the Assertion or NE Contexts component,
which are used separately. The Assertion component is what's including in
the default Aggregate AE and considered the preferred one. I guess I could
switch to NE contexts to get historyOf then switch back to Assertion for
everything else but that seems like a waste of time. However, I hope I'm just
missing some switch or something and REALLY hope that some else can chime in to
explain how to get Assertion to provide the historyOf feature.
Question 2: Thanks or this reference to the HL7/CCDA sectionizer. I know I
should be getting more experience w/UIMAfit but I jut like working with the XML
descriptor since once created it's easily added to the aggregate AE as part of
the clinical pipeline. Would you be able to provide the XML descriptor or
provide how to create it for the CCDA sectionizer?
Thanks.
Regards,
Paula
