Abstract
Applications that analyse textual social media data for their exploitation in healthcare (“textanalytic-enabled systems”) require methods for text analysis, visualisation, machine learning etc. Often, similar methods are used for different applications. Thus, a re-use of methods and components could facilitate the development of applications. In this chapter, we introduce a framework for developing textanalytic-enabled systems. After summarizing the requirements, the framework has to address, we describe the main components.
