ConceptMapper dictionary entry variant

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

Is there some way in the ConceptMapper to propagate the actual variant
text that matched the document text into the annotation that is created
for the match.  I don't even see the variant information in the
DictinaryResource.DictEntry class, just the base concept information.

There are a few ways this can be done, depending on your needs. 

1. Set the "ResultingAnnotationMatchedTextFeature" parameter in the descriptor. This should be the name of a String feature in your result annotation (e.g., DictTerm is used in the distributed example). In the resulting annotation instance, it will be filled with actual text that was matched in input document.

2. Set the "MatchedTokensFeatureName"parameter in the descriptor. This should be the name of an FSArray feature in your result annotation, and will be filled with tokens matched in input document.

3. Add some other indicator into your dictionary (e.g., a simple unique identifier for each variant, or perhaps an id for the parent and one for the variant--depends on your needs). Then use the fact that you can map any attribute in the dictionary into the resulting annotation by setting up the parameters "AttributeList" and "FeatureList". 

Let me know if this make sense, or if you need more information. Looking back at the documentation, I can see that things really need to be clarified a lot--sorry!
