Paula, My intention was not to add on any unnecessary additional administrative. Feel free to make any changes to your local copy as you see fit, but I think your suggestions such as new cue words are valuable contributions in making cTAKES better even if it's just a 1 line code change.
Meritocracy is one of the pillars of the Apache Way [1] and one earns merit by contributing. In addition to tracking changes to the software, Jira is also a useful tool to ensure that credit is properly attributed rightfully to their contributors. --Pei [1] http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#meritocracy From: digital paula [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, December 16, 2013 3:28 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: RE: cTakes: question on updating cue words Hi Pei, I don't consider this a bug so not sure why a jira ticket is needed, I just need to add 2 cue words wondering if I can do it manually? Exploring a bit, I see there are .psv files in Assertion component in the Cue_Words folder that I updated but it doesn't seem to work. I also added to the Semantic_Classes folder (in Assertion as well), the cue words in the .txt file and that didn't work either. One thing that I haven't tried is updating the cue words in the org.mitre.medfacts.i2b2.cuefiles package for the jar file: medfacts-i2b2-1.2.SNAPSHPOT.jar. That would be a little more work since I need to extract and rebuild jar file and add back to project. I'm kind of on a huge deadline and hoping I can make these changes today so hoping this doesn't require a lot of time to just add a couple cue words. By the way, was is a .psv file? Thanks.

Even cooler if you could attach the affected files with the patch(diffs) and any tests. --Pei From: digital paula [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, December 16, 2013 1:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: cTakes: question on updating cue words Hello again cTAKES Community, I would like to add additional cue words to polarity (for negation) and uncertainty. I would so appreciate if someone can let me know how I can add additional cue words. Thanks. Regards, Paula
