Hi Martijn, Since you say that you've created your own dictionary I will assume that you used the gui in sandbox to do so. If that isn't the case then let me know.
The any dictionary created using the default settings on the gui does have snomedct and rxnorm codes in addition to the cuis. However, umls cui is always used as the primary normalization code for ctakes annotations. To obtain codes for an annotation, check the OntologyConceptUtil in ctakes core. It has methods that will return all associated codes as well as one to get all associated codes for a scheme/vocabulary (like snomedct_us, etc.). It can do this for a single annotation, a collection of annotations, the entire document, or a section of the document (sentence, paragraph, section). It also has methods that allow you to fetch annotations found in the document by codes other than the umls cui.

If I create my own dictionary, cTAKES only returns UMLS concepts and no SNOMED CT ones (I'm interested in those). The amount of concepts returned is also way less compared to the 2011 UMLS that's included with cTAKES. Can someone help me out by providing me a proper 2016 dictionary or clear explanation how to implement the newest version of the UMLS (with SNOMED CT). Thanks! - Martijn
