Step-by-step guide

  1. From a command-line in the cTAKES root directory, execute:   bin\runDictionaryCreator
      

  2. Select a cTAKES installation directory.  The default directory should be correct.
  3. Select a UMLS installation directory.  This is the directory containing the META/ subdirectory (which contains RRF files). 
    After selecting the UMLS installation directory, the available vocabularies are gathered.
      
  4. Select Source Vocabularies.  Source vocabularies contain CUIs that interest you.
  5. Select Target Vocabularies.  The dictionary will contain target vocabulary codes.
  6. Select Semantic Types.  The standard cTAKES types are selected by default.
  7. Type a Dictionary Name.  Use all lower case.
