> it would be incredibly helpful to have thorough documentation I agree. There is some documentation in the module's doc/ directory, but it is very brief. There are also some example descriptors in the example/ directory. The -resource also has some example xmls and dictionaries.
It isn't much, but I have a small plate heaped with large portions of many courses and very little time to document. If there are questions please write me and I'll update the documentation as necessary. Anybody else that feels inclined can also add to the docs. Eventually the documentation should be moved to reside with the rest of the cTakes docs.

I would venture to say that this is the most important component in cTAKES, and probably the one that has generated the most questions on the newsgroup.
