docato

DOCument lAbeling TOol - a simple web-based appearance-aware tool to label text documents for information extraction

Usage

Install.
Configure structure of information to be labeled and extracted (short demo video https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3kv5PmF80J3MV9LZzU2elVlakk).
Upload documents and label (short demo video https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3kv5PmF80J3T2l5WVpvcE5zMXM).

Demo videos are in Russian, but the user interface is both in English and Russian. If you have any questions regarding installation or usage, please feel free to ask: I do not have enough free time to write a comprehensive documentation, but I'll be happy to help.

Installation

Install Docker (https://docs.docker.com/) - it is a very convenient environment to run lightweight virtual machines (containers). It supports all major operating systems. Docato is distributed via Docker containers, which are available via Docker Hub (https://hub.docker.com/r/windj007/).
Install docker-compose (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/#install-compose) - it is a simple utility to manage Docker containers with no extra actions.
Download docker-compose config file for Docato https://raw.githubusercontent.com/windj007/docato/master/docker-compose.yml
Create logs, media and mysql folders to store logs, uploaded files and mysql data. Insert their full paths into docker-compose.yml (field volumes).
Execute docker-compose up from the folder containing your docker-compose.yml. After that Docker will start downloading all the needed container images from hub.docker.com (they are stored there prebuilt, with all dependencies packaged).

After that you can log in to Docato using admin login and adminpwd password. The admin site is available on http://<server>/admin. Using that site you can change passwords and create more accounts.

Docato was developed when I was a research scientist at the Federal Research Institute "Computer Science and Control" of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FRC CSC RAS), and was participating in projects on information extraction (fact extraction, relation extraction) from texts.
