Hi Alan, There is a module for building a dictionary off any vocabulary. It was Sean Finan who wrote the code. Sean is out until Jan 3, I am sure he will get back to you when he comes back from the holidays. From what I remember, the code is straightforward to use. Happy Holidays! --Guergana

I've been working with cTAKES for a few weeks now. I'm running the standard CPE from the command line and generating CAS files that include SNOMED and RxNorm concepts. I'd like to expand my annotation to include concepts from vocabularies other than SNOMED and RxNORM--specifically, terms from the NCI Thesaurus for cancer-specific terms that are not in SNOMED--e.g., "Stage IB non-small cell lung cancer" (UMLS CUI C1336139). What's the best way to accomplish this? Regards, Alan Simmons -- J.
