The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS): integrating biomedical terminology [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2003 The Unified Medical Language System (http://umlsks.nlm.nih.gov) is a repository of biomedical vocabularies developed by the US National Library of Medicine. The UMLS integrates over 2 million names for some 900,000 concepts from more than 60 families of biomedical vocabularies, as well as 12 million relations among these concepts.

Unified Medical Language System Coverage of Emergency-medicine Chief Complaints [PDF]
Academic Emergency Medicine, 2006 Emergency department (ED) chief-complaint (CC) data increasingly are important for clinical-care and secondary uses such as syndromic surveillance. There is no widely used ED CC vocabulary, but experts have suggested evaluation of existing health-care vocabularies for ED CC.To evaluate the ED CC coverage in existing biomedical vocabularies from the ...

Improving statistical machine translation in the medical domain using the unified medical language system [PDF]
Proceedings of the 20th international conference on Computational Linguistics - COLING '04, 2004 Texts from the medical domain are an important task for natural language processing. This paper investigates the usefulness of a large medical database (the Unified Medical Language System) for the translation of dialogues between doctors and patients using a statistical machine translation system.

The Unified Medical Language System [PDF]
Yearbook of Medical Informatics, 1993 AbstractIn 1986, the National Library of Medicine began a long-term research and development project to build the Unified Medical Language System® (UMLS®). The purpose of the UMLS is to improve the ability of computer programs to “understand” the biomedical meaning in user inquiries and to use this understanding to retrieve and integrate relevant ...

Mapping the Gene Ontology into the Unified Medical Language System [PDF]
Comparative and Functional Genomics, 2004 AbstractWe have recently mapped the Gene Ontology (GO), developed by the Gene Ontology Consortium, into the National Library of Medicine's Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). GO has been developed for the purpose of annotating gene products in genome databases, and the UMLS has been developed as a framework for integrating large numbers of ...
