Apache cTAKES 4.0.0.1 is a Patch Release for Apache cTAKES 4.0
There is only one item that is updated 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 your Operating SystemumlsKey
in your Operating SystemumlsKey
in your Piper FileumlsKey
in your Dictionary Properties XML File--key
in your Clinical Pipeline Script command line--key
in your Piper Runner command line-Dctakes.umls_apikey
in your Java command parameters-DumlsKey
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] methods.
The pre-2021 [UserName, Password] 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.
