RE: [External] RE: run-time error in processing LookupDesc_Db.xml

I did not change LookupDesc_Db.xml; I’ve been wondering if there’s something I should have added there. The intended CSV dictionary – which I haven’t changed yet – is just the provided dictionary1.csv referenced in …\apache-ctakes-3.1.1\desc\ctakes-dictionary-lookup\desc\analysis_engine\DictionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml.

Here’s all I’ve changed, as per my understanding of the recommendation:


You would add the following to the delegateAnalysisEngine list of [a copy of] AggregatePlainTextUMLSProcessor.xml



<delegateAnalysisEngine key="DictionaryLookupAnnotator"> <import location="../../../ctakes-dictionary-lookup/desc/analysis_engine/DictionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml"/>

</delegateAnalysisEngine>



And then add

<node>DictionaryLookupAnnotator</node>

Just before or just after

<node>DictionaryLookupAnnotatorDB</node>

Richard,
Would it be possible to attach the customized LookupDesc_Db.xml?
In particular, did you just add your CSV dictionary file (in addition to the existing DbConnection resources?)  If so, then I believe you’ll still need to include them in your descriptor:
Take a look at ctakes-dictionary-lookup/desc/analysis_engine/DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml as an example.

HTH.

Subject: run-time error in processing LookupDesc_Db.xml

I received advice on this list from James Masanz to add a couple things to AggregatePlainTextUMLSProcessor.xml, in order to add a CSV dictionary lookup to my cTAKES processing. I chose to instead make a copy of AggregatePlainTextUMLSProcessor.xml with the additions, and pointed Run > Load AE at that new file. This resulted in a quite uninformative run-time error which I reported but no-one has offered any suggestions on.

I’ve now set up Eclipse with all the needed plugins and cTAKES files – a challenge in itself – in order to try to isolate the problem somewhat. The error seems to occur in the 2nd invocation of DictionaryLookupAnnotator.configInit(), with the complaint while processing
…\workspace\ctakes\ctakes-dictionary-lookup-res\target\classes\org\apache\ctakes\dictionary\lookup\LookupDesc_Db.xml
that it is “Unable to find external resource with key:DbConnection”.

Digging a bit further, it looks like the 1st time it constructs a QualifiedName it constructs  “/DictionaryLookupAnnotatorDB/DbConnection” which it is able to find, but the 2nd time it constructs “/DictionaryLookupAnnotator/DbConnection” which it is not. This second time is due to the recommended addition of
    <delegateAnalysisEngine key="DictionaryLookupAnnotator">
      <import location="../../../ctakes-dictionary-lookup/desc/analysis_engine/DictionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml"/>
    </delegateAnalysisEngine>

in the AE file.

Please advise.

DicionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml is also a file I've not changed, and it does reference LookupDesc_csv_sample.xml:

      <externalResource>
        <name>LookupDescriptorFile</name>
        <description/>
        <fileResourceSpecifier>
          <fileUrl>file:org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/LookupDesc_csv_sample.xml</fileUrl>
        </fileResourceSpecifier>
        <implementationName>org.apache.ctakes.core.resource.FileResourceImpl</implementationName>
      </externalResource>

The only files that contain "LookupDesc_Db.xml" are DictionaryLookupAnnotatorDB.xml and DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml, as the corresponding fileResourceSpecifier for their LookupDescriptorFile configuration.

Perhaps I should reiterate that I am not "just using DicionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml", I am trying to use it to supplement UMLS, and perhaps that's getting things confused. Or perhaps I'm just misunderstanding you?

Richard,
If I’m not mistaken, if you’re just using DicionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml, then it should reference Something like: file:org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/LookupDesc_csv_sample.xml for the lookup descriptor Where there is something like externalResourceKey="DictionaryFile" defined in DicionaryLookupAnnotatorCSV.xml Rather than something like LookupDesc_Db.xml (DbConnection).
