RE: annotator Wiki [EXTERNAL]

["Finan, Sean" <Se...@childrens.harvard.edu>]

Hi Abilash,

Superb question.  Unfortunately, I think that components are created and modified faster than they are documented.  Being open source, there are authors of documentation who are not authors of the code - which is fantastic!   Being the lazy developer that I am I wish that there was more of it!

You have probably already visited the wiki page on the primary ctakes components:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+4.0+Component+Use+Guide
and noticed that the covered components are mostly those in the default pipeline:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/Default+Clinical+Pipeline

In case you are interested in reviewing JavaDocs ... they are also a little sparse in some components.  A Java Annotation has been added to most components called @PipeInfoBit that contains a short description of the component as well as required, alternative, and produced Types.  You can see them graphically in the Simple Pipeline Fabricator GUI:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/Simple+Pipeline+Fabricator+GUI
Additional and more complete @PipeBitInfo descriptions are needed, so I implore the community to contribute.

If anybody else knows of a good source for component information, please write - I could certainly benefit from such information!

Sean

Hi ,

During the recent discussions , I could see that there are many annotators mentioned in the email communications. Just curious to know, Is there any documentation available which talks about all the annotators that are part of CTAKES?

Thanks,
Abilash Mathew
