thanks James for the info.,
do you know if there is a way in cTAKES to allow me getting the synonyms for a 
given CUI ?   or should i try to use an external API that could do that ?

ontologyConceptArray only contains SNOMED-CT codes (except for medications, 
where it contains RxNorm codes or CUIs)

Given a C0001621 I need to get its synonyms terms for example
in MeSH, ICD, SNOMED (as shown bellow)…Is that possible ?   



Synonymous
terms  Adrenal gland diseases                     MeSH  D000307
Diseases of the adrenal glands        SNOMED DB-70000
                        ...

  Are  the
synonyms kept in ontologyConceptArray ?  If yes, then in the 
ontologyConceptArray the
information displayed is about identifier (code, cui, tui, oid …) if I need to
get term name do I have to do a lookup on umls ?
thanks
Samir
