There is only one item that is updated , and that is for which is related to Authentication for use of the Apache cTAKES UMLS dictionary.

Starting 2021, NIH is using a new method for UMLS license authentication.

To use the UMLS dictionary, you must obtain a UMLS API Key.

After obtaining a Key, there are several methods to utilize it with Apache cTAKES.

You may specify the value of your Key with a single parameter:

• ctakes.umls_apikey   in apikey in your Operating System
• umlsKey  umlsKey in your Operating System
• umlsKey  umlsKey in your Piper File
• umlsKey  umlsKey in your Dictionary Poperties Properties XML File
• --key  in in your Clinical Pipeline Script command line
• --key  in in your Piper Runner command line
• -Dctakes.umls_apikey   in  in your Java command parameters
• -DumlsKey   in in your Java command parameters

For instance:

bin\runClinicalPipeline -i C:\Input\MyNotes\ --xmiOut C:\Output\MyNotes\ --key 00a111b3-4c55-5555-5d66-66e7f888ghij

where 00a111b3-4c55-5555-5d66-66e7f888ghij is my Key.

The single key settings above will be preferred over the pre-2021 [UserName, Password] methodmethods.

The pre-2021 [UserName, Password] method methods may still be used if the username is set to "umls_api_key" and the password is set to the value of your Key.
