Re: ConceptMapper dictionary entry variant

["Kline, Larry D" <La...@USONCOLOGY.COM>]

I'm finally getting around this.  I think your 1st suggestion would work
except that my task is complicated by the fact that I am stemming the
dictionary.  If I understand the ConceptMapper process correctly I
believe the dictionary is stemmed when it is loaded into memory.  Thus
the matched text is stemmed.  What I need is the original unstemmed
text.  It sounds like I would have to modify the part of ConceptMapper
that does the stemming, or could I do something in the dictionary so it
would keep the stemmed and non-stemmed variants?

 

My dictionary looks like this:

 

<synonym>

      <token canonical="Primary malignant neoplasm of parotid gland
(disorder)" ConceptId="372004005"
BrokerConceptId="ABjfrwDvkAhN1p++2I5XRA" G2Id="17001"
CodingSystem="SNOMED_CT" Category="ProblemDef" SemClass="Problem"
POS="NN">

            <variant base="Primary malignant parotid gland Ca"
IsPreferredTerm="false" POS="NN"/>

            <variant base="Primary malignant parotid gland malignancy"
IsPreferredTerm="false" POS="NN"/>

            <variant base="Primary cancer of parotid gland"
IsPreferredTerm="false" POS="NN"/>

            <variant base="Parotid gland cancer" IsPreferredTerm="false"
POS="NN"/>

            ...

      </token>

      ...

</synonym>

 

Thanks

Larry
