Command-Line Mode

Command-Line Mode

To perform repetitive or time consuming tasks like document annotation you can use the command-line options of ChemCuratior. If you want to run the application in a headless environment you are able to fully disable the GUI components and in this way you can run ChemCurator on your server in batch processing mode. Command line options are also callable from most common workflow tools like KNIME, Pipeline Pilot, etc this way you are able to integrate ChemCurator in your workflows. For annotating documents from command-line mode you need a separate D2S license beside of ChemCurator license.
