UIMA example setup w/o OpenCalais

[Jay Luker <lb...@reallywow.com>]

Hi,

I'd would like to experiment with the UIMA contrib package, but I have
issues with the OpenCalais service's ToS and would rather not use it.
Is there a way to adapt the UIMA example setup to use only the
AlchemyAPI service? I tried simply leaving out the OpenCalais api key
but i get exceptions thrown during indexing.

Thanks,
--jay

Thank you, that worked.

For the record, my objection to the OpenCalais service is that their
ToS states that they will "retain a copy of the metadata submitted by
you", and that by submitting data to the service you "grant Thomson
Reuters a non-exclusive perpetual, sublicensable, royalty-free license
to that metadata." The AlchemyAPI service Tos states only that they
retain the *generated* metadata.

Just a warning to anyone else thinking of experimenting with Solr & UIMA.

Hi Jay,
you should be able to do so by simply removing the OpenCalaisAnnotator from
the execution pipeline commenting the line 124 of the file:
solr/contrib/uima/src/main/resources/org/apache/uima/desc/OverridingParamsExtServicesAE.xml
Hope this helps,
Tommaso
