Leveraging cTAKES without a UMLS Credential Check
Hi All,
Is it possible to avoid the UMLS credential check each time cTAKES is run?
It seems like cTAKES would be configurable in such a way to use UMLS
credentials to acquire the sno_rx_16abterms dictionary once, and then not
need to check against UMLS in future runs.
In particular, I am thinking for instances where cTAKES is being run either
offline or in a highly parallel fashion and there is a chance UMLS could be
bombarded with credential checks. If there is documentation on how to
configure such a setup, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could
point me to it.
Regards,
Mike

Appreciate the responses folks. We'll look into either developing our own
dictionary or using one which requires a credentialed download, as opposed
to the source-force link.
Best,

I was running the same question by everyone a while back. From what we understand so far it seems that this may go away once you build and load your own dictionary vs using the default you mentioned. But we' haven't tested that yet. Lincoln
