Here's a REALLY simple API for access to SNOMED CT along with a loader that runs on Apache Derby. All the basic concept information is loaded into memory along with the ISA graph. So checking for ISA subsumption (not full definitional subsumption) is pretty fast. Derby is very nice for experimental programming since you only need a jar file to use the embedded driver.

You'll need to get the SNOMED CT data independently. It's available from the NLM here.

You can browse the Javadoc here.
