Pei, I appreciate you mentioning the preferredText feature for getting section headings to render, the first column in the mapping file should suffice. In a previous post, Tim stated that the sectionizer would be a huge benefit to the research community once it's working or something along those lines. What was the problem with getting it to work? I ask because I didn't encounter any issues during my preliminary testing. All I did was an integration and minor configuration, as stated in my previous post. The reason why I'd like to know is so I'm cognizant of any known issues in case I encounter them once I get back to using the sectionizer...should be in a few days. Thanks.

Paula, Glad to hear it’s working for you. Please feel free to let us know how it works out for you in your use case and dataset. >I didn't see it in the trunk so I manually added the text file >ccda_sections.txt taken from the sandbox.

I added the CDASegmentAnnotator lines that you stated to the Aggregate Descriptor and commented the simple annotator in the flow. In addition, I also had to comment out this in order for the Aggregate descriptor to save with no error: <!-- <configurationParameter> <name>SegmentID</name> <description/> <type>String</type> <multiValued>false</multiValued> <mandatory>false</mandatory> <overrides> <parameter>SimpleSegmentAnnotator/SegmentID</parameter> </overrides> </configurationParameter> --> I didn't see it in the trunk so I manually added the text file ccda_sections.txt taken from the sandbox. I added it under src/main/resources in ctakes-core: org/apache/ctakes/core/sections/ccda_sections.txt I tested on a few narratives and I'm attaching what returned using CVD tool for one of them. The segmentID was populated with segmentID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.19376.1.5.3.1.3.4. I looked in the ccda_sections.txt file and this was it: 1.3.6.1.4.1.19376.1.5.3.1.3.4,10164-2,HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS,brief history of physical illness,history of present illness,history of the present illness I looked back in the narrative and the heading was: HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient..... I just tested on a few narratives and though that hardly constitutes testing because I need to resolve a more urgent issue for my research but will return to this for full testing entailing the application to all of my narratives. However, from a preliminary perspective, it looks good....only thing I'd like to see is the actual text as well for the segment heading as another feature. For example what displays is this: segmentID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.19376.1.5.3.1.3.4 This would be good to have too: segmentHeading: HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Thanks.

That is, should I just create the XML Descriptor using one of the reference materials from the UIMA website for creating descriptors or would you recommend using UIMAfit?
