Hi All, I am a newbee in ctakes so please pardon my ignorance. I am trying to extract temporal relation between Events-Events and Events-Time. For this I am using cTakes Temporal module via api's. Once I get the temporal relation, I would like to put them in sequence order to understand patients medical history.
Now issue is for most of the relationship(Tlink) between Evenet-Event and Event-Time, I receive a category "Contains". In most of the ctakes related papers, I read that TLInk belongs to "Before, Aftre,Overlap" so what does this "contains" means and how I can utilize this to build user's sequential timeline Eg: The MRI scan on admission revealed an impending cord compression at the level of T10. ################ EventEventRelation Annotation Output ############### EVENT(DocTime) | Relationship Category | Event(Doctime) scan ( BEFORE ) | CONTAINS | revealed ( BEFORE ) scan ( BEFORE ) | CONTAINS | compression ( BEFORE ) Please suggest.
