Well, before we had online verification ctakes required downloading umls, extracting the right subset, and building a database for the dictionary tool. You can still do that - it is often necessary for use cases that our default dictionary doesn't have coverage, and while I'm not sure the state of documentation there have been several threads on the list about it. I think if you do it this way you can skip the UMLS verification step (though I don't remember exactly how that works) because you will have been verified at download time.
Can Sean or someone verify that this is true? If he builds his own dictionary (with the same subsets) can he skip the online verification?

Anyone accomplish this yet? I recall some chatter awhile back but initial flirtations with google were unsuccessful. thanks!John
