Knowledge acquisition to qualify Unified Medical Language System interconceptual relationships.

Proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2001
Adding automatically relations between concepts from a database to a knowledge base such as the Unified Medical Language System can be very useful to increase the consistency of the latter one. But the transfer of qualified relationships is more interesting.

Mapping medical vocabularies to the Unified Medical Language System.

Proceedings : a conference of the American Medical Informatics Association. AMIA Fall Symposium, 1997
This paper presents our work in automated mapping of medical vocabularies to the National Library of Medicine's Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). We used the UMLS Knowledge Source (KS) tool to map terms from several sources to UMLS Metathesaurus concepts.

Dental concepts in the Unified Medical Language System.

Quintessence international (Berlin, Germany : 1985), 2002
Currently, no comprehensive, controlled vocabulary for dentistry is available. The objective of this study was to determine how well the Unified Medical Language System, the largest repository of concepts and terms in biomedicine, represents dental concepts.The dental subset of concepts was extracted from Unified Medical Language System using the ...

A structural partition of the Unified Medical Language System's semantic network

Proceedings 2000 IEEE EMBS International Conference on Information Technology Applications in Biomedicine. ITAB-ITIS 2000. Joint Meeting Third IEEE EMBS International Conference on Information Technology Applications in Biomedicine (ITAB'00). Third Works, 2002
The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) integrates many well-established biomedical terminologies. The UMLS's semantic network (SN) can help orient users to the vast knowledge content of the Metathesaurus via its abstract conceptual view. However, the SN itself is large and complex, and may still be difficult to comprehend.

From French vocabulary to the Unified Medical Language System: A preliminary study

1998
The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) is an extensive source of biomedical knowledge developed and maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). The UMLS began to include biomedical terms in other languages a few years ago. However, providing foreign terms for existing concepts is only the first step for the UMLS to become ...

A Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Based System for Literature-Based Discovery in Medicine

2013
Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) is a technique that can be used in translational research to connect the very sparse and huge information available in scientific publications in order to extract new knowledge. This paper presents an LBD system based on the open discovery paradigm exploiting NLP techniques and UMLS medical concepts mapping, to provide ...

A schematic analysis of the Unified Medical Language System.

Proceedings. Symposium on Computer Applications in Medical Care, 1992
The UMLS is a complex collection of medical terms and relationships derived from standard classifications. Appreciating the scope and layout of these relations from text descriptions of relational schema is difficult. The graphical technique of Logical Data Structure (LDS) representation was employed to illustrate the UMLS schema as a data abstraction,

Public domain Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) patient database

2012
This document has presented a research work under the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) design and its conceptual framework as well as its experimental implementation has been introduced. Three hypotheses have been proposed and tested with real patient cases from two hospital information systems (HELP and VA). Primary conclusions of this work were:
