sorry i'm having some problem with my e-mail
correct me if i'm wrong. Based in what is said, when i do a lookup i'll get the 
term (entity, event for example) that can be from MeSH, ICD9 or NCI but the 
ontologyConceptArray will contains the codes synonyms in SNOMED-CT

Just in case it wasn't clear, when I said it only contains SNOMED-CT codes, I 
pointing out that it doesn't have entries for ICD9 or MeSH or NCI Thesaurus, 
even though those are used when doing the dictionary lookup.  I wasn't thinking 
about the codes vs. text part.

FYI: I was proposing adding an additional attribute to store the 
description/preferredText(term) [1] since this information is already available 
in the dictionary lookup.
I think most folks would find this useful in additional to just saving the 
CUI/Code. Otherwise, they would have to do another lookup further downstream to 
get the description of the CUI/Code.
