Hi Harish,

I'm not overly familiar with the default cTakes vocabulary extracted from the 
UMLS, so I'm not sure whether there is an easier solution to this, but one 
option would be to customize what sources you are using for the UMLS via the 
MetamorphoSys tool (see 
https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/implementation_resources/metamorphosys/help.html).
 Here, you can create RRF files that include the vocabularies from the sources 
you had mentioned, as shown in the attached image.

Best,

Galen

Subject: Vocabularies extraction while custom dictionary formation

Hi All,

I am trying to form a custom dictionary using UMLS-2017AA-full to cover a vast 
range of CUIs. When I look on UMLS website I can find vocabularies like MDRSPA, 
CCPSS, SNOMED-VET under UMLS-2017AA but while creating the custom dictionary 
the vocabularies I can see in the wizard does not contain the vocabularies like 
MDRSPA, CCPSS, SNOMED-VET etc. (after providing the UMLS installation path till 
META folder, where .RRF files are present).

Any pointers will be of great help.

Regards,
Harish.
