Vlad, cTAKES has a sectionizer component. Depending on your use case, one may consider something like: 1) If you wish to have cTAKES to completely ignore all sections except IMPRESSION, it can be done as a preprocessing step. (either removed beforehand, or modify all of the annotators to support only process certain sections. (not all components support this by config by default though). 2) Each IdentifiedAnnotation has a Section attribute associated with it (I think it's .getSection() IIRC). So you can also do it as a post filtering. Pros and Con's to both.
