-----------------------------------------

             Summary: include term rather than just CUI(s)
                 Key: CTAKES-17
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-17
             Project: cTAKES
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ctakes-dictionary-lookup
            Reporter: James Joseph Masanz
            Priority: Minor


"I actually think it would really nice if cTAKES stores the snomed preferred 
term as well as the CUI.  So the descriptions that downstream consumers could 
use should actually be the preferred term instead of .getCoveredText()... Just 
my 2 cents..."

I think it would be good to have an option to control this. perhaps with the 
default being to include the description. but people in a production 
environment might not want it included for performance or space reasons.

One consideration is - do we include the SNOMED preferred term or the UMLS 
Concept name -- probably the concept name because there can be more than one 
SNOMED code for a single CUI (and therefore more than one SNOMED preferred term 
for a single CUI)
