Data from and to UMLS

Hi all,

I am using cTAKES programmatically in order to perform the AnalysisEngine
described into AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor.xml.
Since this pipeline includes a component that connects to UMLS, I am just
wondering which data are transmitted outside.
More in detail, my application works on private data, so I would like to
know which kind of data go to and from UMLS.

Please could you help me about that?

Thanks a lot,
Giuseppe

The only data that gets sent over the outside network are your UMLS credentials (username and password). Once they are verified the actual lookup is done locally.
