The UIMA Analysis Engine descriptor for the dictionary component has a parameter for what ctakes calls a "lookup descriptor". By default the lookup descriptor describes a lookup in a hsql engine. The xml files in that sample directory are lookup descriptors for a lookup using the bsv files they point to. If you want your bsv lookup to complement the default lookup it's possible to just have two dictionaries running with different lookup descriptors. I think it's also possible to have a lookup descriptor have multiple lookup types (i.e. multiple <dictionary> sections inside <dictionaries>) but I can't guarantee that works! Tim

What I couldn't find was how/where to refer to one of those CustomCuiTui.Xml files in an engine description.
