Method Detail

applyFilter

void applyFilter(Concept concept)

Deprecated. Use one of the sub-interfaces instead

Method which removes a given Concept or its components from the release. Called during the subsetting process.

Parameters:

concept - Concept

isEfficientEnabled

boolean isEfficientEnabled()

Indicates if Filter can use the efficient mode during the "Initialize Cuis" phase of the subsetting process. The efficient mode reads only MRCONSO and MRSTY during the "Initialize Cuis" phase.

Returns:

true if efficient mode is acceptable false if efficient mode is not acceptable

getWarnings

String[] getWarnings()

Returns a String[] of warnings accumulated during processing of the Filter.

Returns:
