Hi Erick, There is a fourth option that should work
cui | tui | text | preferredText I would create an importer that creates a -fake- cui. The cui need not (in this case should not) start with 'C'. So, I would import per-owl uri using something like OWL00001. tui can be empty, in which case "T000" will be used, =forcing ctakes to create annotations of unknown semantic type. text(s) should contain your synonym(s). preferredText can be your owl uri. This should allow you to fake it with an imported owl. Upon deconstruction of the cas you will want to look at the preferredTerm for each annotation and ignore the cui and tui.

Since the format of a dictionary in cTAKES is CUI | TUI | TEXT, or CUI | TEXT, is there any specification to create CUIs for terms? Thanks, Erick
