I am also not fully clear on what’s being asked here, but I want to point out that OpenNLP provides some UIMA wrappers (if I remember correctly).
Some links are available here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10829410/how-can-i-integrate-opennlp-with-uima Dima -- Dmitriy (Dima) Dligach, Ph.D. Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School (617) 651-0397 On May 19, 2015, at 9:52, Miller, Timothy <[email protected]> wrote: I'm not totally sure I understand your question. But if you are asking if it's possible to use the clinical-trained OpenNLP models released with cTAKES without using UIMA, yes, it should be possible. Some of the cTAKES modules simply wrap OpenNLP APIs, and convert the POS-tagged/Chunked/Parsed output into the UIMA typesystem. Or are you asking if you can write a UIMA annotator that consumes OpenNLP annotations rather than cTAKES' UIMA-based annotations? That is possible too, though would definitely add complexity to a UIMA pipeline.

Furthermore, is it possible to go from UIMA to OpenNLP ? For example, I am interested in a medical analysis with cTakes, but I cannot find a way how to do it using only the OpenNLP. The reason why I want to rely on OpenNLP as much as possible, is simply due to a complexity of applications I am developing, and UIMA would simply complicate everything without a necessity. Thank you kindly for your answers! Damir Olejar
