Hi Joyce,

Ctakes is actually umls version-agnostic, it just requires that the umls be in 
a format that it can understand.  As you noticed, the umls bundles repackaged 
for ctakes are 2011AB.

You can package any version and flavor of the umls for ctakes 3.2.3.  The 
Dictionary Gui in ctakes sandbox can read your local umls .rrf files and 
repackage whatever you like into a hypersql database that can be used by 3.2.3.

Subject: cTAKES/UMLs Versions

Good afternoon,

When looking at cTAKES into the ctakes-resources-3.2.1.1.bin.zip it looks like 
it has a folder for umls2011ab.  I am assuming that means 3.2.2.1 supported 
umls2011ab and if that same zip can be used with 3.2.2 then it also supports 
umls2011ab.

I downloaded and installed the latest of 2016AB UMLS into my database prior to 
today, but which version(s) of UMLS is currently supported with cTAKES 3.2.3?

Does the UMLS DLL normally change between versions of just the data?

Thanks,
Joyce
