CR descriptor

[Yi-Wen Liu <yi...@usc.edu>]

Hi,

I am looking for the main collection reader(CR) in cTAKES in order to do
scale out on UIMA DUCC. And in des/ctakes-core/des/collection_reader/,
there are multiple CR xml files. I am not sure which is the one that should
be specified in DUCC's job file...are they all necessary in cTAKES job or
some of them are offered for other reference?

I am not familiar with cTAKES structure so hope somebody can help me out,
thanks!

Thanks,
Yi-Wen

Hi,

Thanks! That helps a lot!

My data format is text file, can I assume other descriptors work like that?
Because there are also multiple AE xmls in
desc\ctakes-core\desc\analysis_engine, and CC xmls
in desc\ctakes-core\desc\cas_consumer, and I only need one of each.
It seems like they are AggregateAE and FilesInDirectoryCasConsumer.example
in my case?

Thanks,
Yi-Wen

Hi Yi-Wen,
There are different collection readers for different data sources, and we usually try to give them descriptive names. FilesInDirectoryCollectionReader is one of the most useful ones -- it will look for a list of text files in a directory and put one file in each cas. If your data is in that format or is easy to convert to that format that's probably a good starting point.
