???As some have experienced, the U.S.A. National Library of Medicine (NLM) has changed the authentication method for using the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS).
https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/index.html Though a bit late in its arrival, Apache cTAKES now has a patch release that supports the new UMLS authentication method. The release number is 4.0.0.1, an update of the previous release version 4.0.0 with a single change to enable the new UMLS authentication. No other code or functionality has been modified and there are no enhancements to the previous release 4.0.0 There are instructions for use on the Apache cTAKES wiki. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+4.0.0.1 The source code is available in the 4.0.0.1 tag Subversion (svn) repository. https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ctakes/tags/ctakes-4.0.0.1/ The jar and pom files are available from maven central and any Applications utilizing Apache cTAKES as an Apache Maven dependency should update their pom files. https://search.maven.org/search?q=ctakes At this time the Apache infra script that points mirror download servers to the pre-built zip/archive files has not run. I hope that the mirror servers are updated in a day or two. When the mirror servers are updated the buttons on the "Downloads" page of ctakes.apache.org should trigger a download of the patch version. Until then you will get a "page not found" error. Until the pre-built archive downloads are available through the website, you can find them in the release repository. https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/releases/org/apache/ctakes/ctakes-core/4.0.0.1/ For more information please visit the wiki page on the Apache cTAKES 4.0.0.1 patch release. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CTAKES/cTAKES+4.0.0.1 A very special thanks goes to Peter Abramowitsch for conception and original implementation of the authentication code and workflow. Many thanks to those who boldly tested, documented and otherwise made this patch and its trunk equivalent possible, including Kean Kaufmann Gandhi Rajan Eugenia Monogyiou Timothy Miller and anybody else that I have forgotten (apologies). ?And for those of you gave gave me a bit of prodding to get this wrapped up and published ... in the end I am grateful and you have done us all a service. Cheers, Sean
