<p>The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is deprecating certain Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) semantic types that are used infrequently. Beginning with the 2015AA release, Concept Unique Identifiers (CUIs) that are categorized with these deprecated semantic types will be re-categorized with the parent semantic type. The table below lists the semantic types that will no longer exist as of 2015AA as well as the replacement semantic type in each case. Please note that there are <em>no new</em> semantic types being created as a result of this effort.<br /><br /></p>
