----------------------------------------------------------
+1, I wonder if it is just legacy reasons why the coding scheme check was
performed. I.e. before we had the MedicationEventMention subclass. Perhaps
others could chime in.
I think it would make sense to apply the drug signatures to any code that
created a MedicationEventMention.
Sample use case: someone created a custom dictionary called CUSTOM_RXNORM for
additional meds.

> Project: cTAKES
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ctakes-drug-ner
> Affects Versions: future enhancement
> Reporter: Chen Lin
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: patch
>
> In DrugMentionAnnotator of the drug-ner module, it is hard-coded to only add
> drug signatures (e.g. dosage, status change, strength, etc.) for RXNOM terms.
> Shouldn't the check for RXNOM be removed, so that signatures can be added for
> all MedicationEventMentions?
> while (uniqueNER.hasNext())
> {
> tokenAnt = (MedicationEventMention) uniqueNER.next();
> boolean isDrugNER = false;
> FSArray ocArr = tokenAnt.getOntologyConceptArr();
> if (ocArr != null)
> {
> for (int i = 0; i < ocArr.size() && !isDrugNER;
> i++)
> {
> OntologyConcept oc = (OntologyConcept)
> ocArr.get(i);
> String scheme = oc.getCodingScheme();
> if (scheme.compareTo("RXNORM") == 0)
> {
> isDrugNER = true;
> }
> }
