<p>The 2020AB release of the Unified Medical Language System® (UMLS) Knowledge Sources is available for <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/licensedcontent/umlsknowledgesources.html">download</a> as of November 2, 2020.</p>
|
|
<p>The available downloads are:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Full Release (UMLS Metathesaurus, Semantic Network, Specialist Lexicon and Lexical Tools, database load scripts, and MetamorphoSys for customizing your UMLS subset and browsing the data)</li>
|
|
<li>UMLS Metathesaurus Files (complete Metathesaurus data without any customization)</li>
|
|
<li>MRCONSO.RRF file (most widely used Metathesaurus file)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The UMLS SOAP API is deprecated as of the 2020AA release. The SOAP API will be discontinued on December 31, 2020. SOAP API users are encouraged to switch to the <a href="https://documentation.uts.nlm.nih.gov/rest/home.html">REST API</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Some changes are coming to UMLS Terminology Services (UTS):</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Our sign in process will change starting November 9, 2020. You will no longer sign in to UTS with a username and password. Instead, you will be asked to sign in using an identity provider of your choice.</li>
|
|
<li>UMLS API users who authenticate with a username and password should switch to using an API key effective immediately. Username and password will no longer work starting January 1, 2021.</li>
|
|
<li>We anticipate the release of the Beta version of our new UMLS Metathesaurus Browser on November 9, 2020.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>See our <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/uts-changes.html">Fall 2020 Changes to UTS announcement</a> for more information.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Metathesaurus</strong></p>

|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Five new NCI sub-sources:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>NCI_ACC-AHA (American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Clinical Data Terminology)</li>
|
|

</ul>
|
|
<p>Four LNC translation sources removed: </p>

</ul>
|
|
<p>65 English sources and 29 translation sources were updated. These include MeSH<sup>®</sup>, MedDRA, RxNorm, and SNOMED CT<sup>®</sup> (English and Spanish). A complete list is available in the <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/knowledge_sources/metathesaurus/release/updated_sources.html">Updated Sources</a> section of the <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/knowledge_sources/metathesaurus/release/index.html">Release Documentation</a>.

<p><strong>UMLS User Contributions</strong></p>
|
|
<p>UMLS users have extended the functionality of the UMLS in a variety of ways by developing APIs, automation scripts, and natural language processing tools. You can find a list of these on the <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/implementation_resources/community/index.html">UMLS Community</a> web page.</p>
|
|
<p>Want to add your tool? Send a request to the <a href="https://support.nlm.nih.gov/support/create-case/">NLM Support Center</a> with the subject line: "UMLS Community."
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Be sure to include a link to your source code so that other UMLS users can adapt your tool. We are especially interested in:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Database load scripts</li>
|
|
<li>Transformation scripts that convert UMLS data into other formats (for example, RDF or JSON)</li>
|
|
<li>Scripts that automate any aspect of UMLS installation</li>
|
|
<li>Applications that leverage UMLS in the processing of text</li>
