[DISCUSS] Apache cTAKES API
There seems to be an increasing amount questions regarding how to
'use/integrate' cTAKES. Some folks have been discussing an
effort/focus in creating a clean starting point for cTAKES. This could
be in the form of a clean, well-document API. (abstracting out UIMA,
Annotators, Pipelines, Type System, etc.).
An example call would be as simple as
.getUMLSConcepts(String document);
//Under the hood, it would put together the necessary components and
return a list of umls concepts.
The new uimaFIT Factory style methods could be a good starting point.
We were thinking of putting our thoughts as an example/interfaces into
sandbox as a starting point.

Did you think about either using Docker or Vagrant to provision a working VM with custom configuration using either Chef or Puppet?
That could be very helpful especially if you add a REST API exposing the methods.
