Apache UIMA TikaAnnotator README file INTRODUCTION Apache Tika is a toolkit for detecting and extracting metadata and structured text content from various documents using existing parser libraries. TikaAnnotator uses Tika to generate annotations representing the original markup of a document, extract its text and metadata. It consists of three resources (see /desc): - FileSystemCollectionReader : similar to the one in UIMA examples but uses TIKA to extract the text from binary documents and generates annotations to represent the markup - MarkupAnnotator : takes the original content from a view and generates a new view containing the extracted text with markup annotations - TikaWrapper : utility class which allows to populate a CAS from a binary document; used by the FileSystemCollectionReader VERSION This version wraps Tika 0.4. In that version of Tika, the packaging for Tika was split into several parts. The tika-core jar contains only the core client-visible classes and interfaces and has zero dependencies beyond Java 5. All the actual parser implementations and external parser dependencies are in the tika-parsers jar. See http://lucene.apache.org/tika/gettingstarted.html for the full details. COMPILATION You can use the ANT script to compile the sources. Note that you need to add the Tika-jars in the /lib directory; it is recommended to use the Tika-*-standalone.jar which contains all the libraries used internally by Tika.

The country in which you currently reside may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption software, to see if this is permitted. See for more information. The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object code and source code. The following provides more details on the included cryptographic software: The binary distributions include portions of Apache Tika, which, in turn, is classified as being controlled under ECCN 5D002.
