Hi Chase, I just ran a search in the bundled UMLS dictionary and the full term and cui does existfrom SnomedCT and NCI, with tui T007.
The Dictionary Lookup that you are using filters out terms that don't have tui codes registered in the resources/org/apache/ctakes/dictionary/lookup/LookupDesc_Db.xml file. Edit that file and add "T007" to the value list for "disorderTuis" property as below: <property key="disorderTuis" value="T019,T020,T037,T046,T047,T048,T049,T050,T190,T191,T007"/> For <lookupConsumer className="org.apache.ctakes.dictionary.lookup.ae.UmlsToSnomedDbConsumerImpl"> Sean -----Original Message----- From: Chen, Pei [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2013 11:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: dictionary questions Hi Chase, > -----Original Message----- > From: Chase Master [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2013 11:22 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: dictionary questions > > Hi, > > If I am using DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml as the descriptor for > that module, with my valid UMLS username and password, does this use > the full SNOMED CT and RxNorm dictionaries?
