UMLS Sample Clauses

UMLS. UMLS [15], the Unified Medical Language System, is a unifying framework which integrates different terminologies which are relevant to medicine and biomedical information technologies. It consists mainly of three parts. The Metathesaurus and the Semantic Network are the most important ones. The third part, the SPECIALIST lexicon, is a source of lexical information and language processing programs. The Metathesaurus is currently distributed in two versions, the Rich Release Format (RRF) is provided since 2004. The Original Release Format (ORF) is older. Since RRF is more accurate and precise than ORF it is the preferable option. The Metathesaurus is the core of UMLS. With over five million names for over one million concepts and about 12 million relations between these concepts it is a very broad scoped but also detailed resource for the domain of biomedicine. The purpose of the Metathesaurus is not to give a new terminology but to give an extensive lexicon of existing vocabularies and coding systems. According to a ranking of source vocabularies one of the different terms which belong to the same concept is designated as a preferred term. Whatever is contained in the Metathesaurus has a unique identifier. For example, concepts are attached to a CUI (Concept Unique Identifier), terms get a LUI (Lexical Unique Identifier) and relationships are named by a RUI (Relationship Unique Identifier). The second part of UMLS is the Semantic Network. Its aim is “to provide a consistent categorization of all concepts represented in the UMLS”. The network is a system of abstract categories and provides the foundation for the categorization of the concepts in the Metathesaurus. Every concept in the Metathesaurus is associated to at least one of the categories, usually to the most specific available category. Currently, the Semantic Network has 133 broad categories and 54 relationships. The is-a relation, i.e. subsumption, is essential for the hierarchical structure. The Semantic Network does not aim to be a complete characterization of the world but it is rather limited to medical purposes. This becomes obvious with respect to granularity. Narrow classes are only provided for the domain of biomedicine. Further relations are "physically related to", "spatially related to", "temporally related to", "functionally related to", "conceptually related to" and relation which are subtypes of these five relations. Relations between entities are usually inherited to the terms which ...
