CAS Visualisation

[Andreas Niekler <an...@informatik.uni-leipzig.de>]

Dear UIMA Users,

i wonder what the best practice would be to render a CAS as a html 
snippet that could be included into a webpage. I already found the 
AnnotationViewGenerator which is producing complete html files which is 
far to much as i just want to generate snippets.

Has anybody a nice library or script to easily convert a cas to a html 
based structure?

Thank you very much

I do not know if there is a class doing what you want from a CAS, but it is easy to extract snippets of html from a document using a library like jsoup (http://jsoup.org). For example, you could extract the body content in the following way :

 // retrieve complete document html
String html = …

// extract html under body
String snippet = Jsoup.parse(html).select("body").html();

Hope this help,

Alexandre
