In anticipation for the upcoming release, there are new cTAKES umls resources available from maven central now:
The existing Lucene rxnorm_index and orangebook has been made available as a hsqldb table(s) as well. Benefits: - You can read the hsqldb directly from a jar as a stream and download them directly from maven central - The existing umls/snomed dictionaries were already in hsqldb so it just keeps things simpler/consistent. Group: net.sourceforge.ctakesresources 1)ctakes-resources-rxnorm-hsqldb-2011ab 2)ctakes-resources-orangebook-hsqldb 3)ctakes-resources-snomed-rword-hsqldb-2011ab #3 is the resource for Sean's new fast/optimized dictionary-lookup2 based on the rare word look up format.
