java.lang.Object

org.apache.tika.parser.AbstractParser

org.apache.tika.parser.ParserDecorator

org.apache.tika.parser.ctakes.CTAKESParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Parser

public class CTAKESParser
extends ParserDecorator

CTAKESParser decorates a Parser and leverages on CTAKESContentHandler to extract biomedical information from clinical text using Apache cTAKES.

It is normally called by supplying an instance to AutoDetectParser, such as: AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser(new CTAKESParser());

It can also be used by giving a Tika Config file similar to:

Because this is a Parser Decorator, and not a normal Parser in it's own right, it isn't normally selected via the Parser Service Loader.

Method Detail

parse

public void parse(InputStream stream,
                  ContentHandler handler,
                  Metadata metadata,
                  ParseContext context)

                  TikaException

Description copied from class: ParserDecorator

Delegates the method call to the decorated parser. Subclasses should override this method (and use super.parse() to invoke the decorated parser) to implement extra decoration.

Specified by:

parse in interface Parser

Overrides:

parse in class ParserDecorator

Parameters:

stream - the document stream (input)

handler - handler for the XHTML SAX events (output)

metadata - document metadata (input and output)

context - parse context

Throws:

IOException - if the document stream could not be read

SAXException - if the SAX events could not be processed

TikaException - if the document could not be parsed

getDecorationName

public String getDecorationName()

Overrides:

getDecorationName in class ParserDecorator

Returns:

A name/description of the decoration, or null if none available
