ctakes ytex web - apache/ctakes GitHub Wiki

ctakes-ytex-web is a web application that provides the following:

• searching the annotated corpus by concepts (implemented by queries to ytex tables)
• computing the semantic similarity of concept pairs
• provides Web & Restful services for computing semantic similarity

ctakes-ytex-web just relies on ctakes-ytex and is independent of the rest of ctakes. Although this produces a war file (as it should), we don't actually deliver a WAR file with the ctakes distro. We package and install a ctakes-ytex-web.jar (notice the extension) file with the classes from this project. We deliver the exploded web-app in the ctakes distro under desc/ctakes-ytex-web. All non-web app specific resources (properties files, spring config files) are in ctakes-ytex project/resources directory of ctakes.

To build and run the web app run the following (command line/eclipse): mvn clean install jetty:run

This relies on you having correctly built and configured the ctakes-ytex.
