[Kim-discussion] [Interested-in-kim] problem of populating instances from my own corpus

[Anton Andreev]

Hello Fangkai,

1. It should work the way you are doing it. KIM 2.4 can be feeded with 
txt files.

When you start "toolPopulate.cmd" do you see that documents are being processed? Also you can check the KIM server output. There should be some output which will prove that documents are being annotated.

2. Please go to the "Keyword Search" menu and try searching there for some of your content. Please keep in mind that:

  * CORE Search
  * Semantic Search
  * Timelines

require you to configure CoreDB with Oracle: 
http://www.ontotext.com/kim/doc/sys-doc/ConfigCORE.html
We know that the Oracle dependency is uncomfortable, so the next version 
of KIM 3.0 does not require Oracle. KIM 3.0 will be released in two 
weeks (if no major issues are found).

Best regards,
Anton Andreev
