Information Regarding cTakes API from Java Program
Hello everyone,
I am a newbie and am working on developing an application with Apache
cTakes 3.0.
I have installed Apache cTakes on my local machine using the tutorial given
at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+3.0+Developer+Install+Guide
. I have also downloaded cTakes resources and got my UMLS username and
password approved. I have tested the installaton by invoking CAS Visual
Debugger(CVD) from the command line, loading Analysis Engine as
AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor and running. I am interested in exploring
the different result fields that I am getting corresponding to the text
that I have given. *Please point me to some resources that will help me in
understanding the result. Also is the result in XML format?*
My issue is regarding running this process(giving text and receiving
results after analyzing the text using AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor)
from a Java Program as it will be easier to automate*. Please point me to
relevant resources for doing this. *
Thank you
Arohi

Hi Arohi,
Welcome!
To use cTAKES programmatically, I would suggest:
1) Take a look at the current Type System [1] as that will outline all of the available output that is supported in cTAKES.
2) Understand a bit about UIMA [2], the framework that cTAKES was built on top of.
3) Take a look at uimaFIT[3] as that will probably make access the data objects and running a pipeline much easier via java code.
4) Take a look at a simple example such as that just extracts a list of UMLS CUI's [4]

[2] http://uima.apache.org
[3] https://code.google.com/p/uimafit/ (in the process of being migrated to the UIMA project)
[4] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ctakes/trunk/ctakes-clinical-pipeline/src/main/java/org/apache/ctakes/clinicalpipeline/runtime/BagOfCUIsGenerator.java
I hope that helps...
