Pei, I added a couple more items 'PMH' for previous medical history, 'FH' for family history and 'SH' for social history.

Would be great if we you could share the header names/patterns from your data set if it's not in the mappings file. Also side note, if you use the current DrugNER component, the sections to include for the lookup needs to be added.

As far as getting it running there wasn't any particular issue, my worry is just the 'unknown unknowns' as they say. I think for performance I have one worry yet, especially if it is the default sectionizer -- does it fail gracefully and will it ever skip text? I think it should be ok but that would be one thing it would be worth testing. So, Paula, what happens if you change the spelling of a section header (i.e., introduce a typo)? And just out of curiosity, what kind of notes are you running it on? Any particular dataset?

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.

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.
