The "pain" and "aspirin" terms are from a tiny dictionary that has just a h=
andful of terms with made-up codes/CUIs. (For the record, they are in a luc=
ene index instead of an HSQL database.) I think "knee" is also in that tiny=
 dictionary.

As far as I know, the assertion component doesn't work any differently whet=
her you use the UMLS dictionary or the tiny, sample, made-up dictionary.

Which dictionary is used is determined by which Dictionary Lookup analysis =
engine is included in the aggregate
DictionaryLookupAnnotator.xml for the tiny one
DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml for the one that has real UMLS terms and =
CUIs

Hell again cTakes Community,
=A0
I think this will be an easy question.=A0=A0=A0=A0 Okay I've decided to sta=
rt simple by first exploring the=A0Aggregate Plaintext Processor without UL=
MS.=A0=A0=A0Since it's not using ULMS, where=A0 is the dictionary and the a=
ssertion rules being defined?=A0=A0Can these be modified easily?=A0=A0 For =

text states 'family history'=A0 this will=A0be noted as well.=A0=A0 Can som=

Thanks.
