Hi Alaa, I have a question for you. Do you want ctakes to never find codes from certain schemes during processing? Or do you want it to find them, but only return them when you request them explicitly after processing?
> can I override process(final JCas jcas) That depends. If you are subclassing an AE that declares it final you cannot override it. If it is declared final then there may be a reason. In that case use composition. If you need help, web search "composition over inheritance". You may want to use composition anyway ... > its from UIMA library right Very close. Process( JCas ) is from UimaFit while process (CAS ) is from uima. Web search UimaFit or go to uima.apache.org for more information. > how can I pass an information like final ConceptCode ... createConcepts( > final Collection<Long> cuiCodes, final ConceptCode conceptCode) Now you are getting into the fast-dictionary-lookup code that is in ctakes. You probably don't want to override this. Look at my question above. What I am getting at is, if you only want ctakes to maintain a small list of schemes then you should just change the dictionary configuration file instead of delving into coding. The configuration file is xml and lists the schemes in your database, one per line. Just comment out the schemes that you don't want. As for a faster way to get codes of a different scheme, you are pretty much out of luck. This is because the uima cas stores everything in an array. To get items of interest ctakes has to go through the array and filter out whatever you don't want. We try to do that as efficiently as possible, but we are tied to this array storage mechanism.
