<strong>MLS Web Site Changes</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
NLM<span class="registered">®</span> reorganized the <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/index.html">UMLS</a> Web site (see <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>). Information is now divided into four categories:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong><a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/new_users/index.html">New Users</a> (1)</strong> — basic information for users who have little or no experience with UMLS; includes information about getting a UMLS License;</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><strong><a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/user_education/index.html">User Education</a> (2)</strong> — UMLS Webcasts, Quick Tours, and links to papers and presentations about the UMLS;</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><strong><a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/knowledge_sources/index.html">Knowledge Sources</a> (3)</strong> — information about the three UMLS Knowledge Sources, including relevant chapters of the new <a href="//www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=nlmumls">UMLS Reference Manual</a> and Fact Sheets and;</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><strong><a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/implementation_resources/index.html">Implementation Resources</a> (4)</strong> — technical information such as Database Query Diagrams and Database Load Scripts for application development; includes information about MetamorphoSys and the Rich Release Format Browser.<br /><br /></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The new UMLS Web site homepage also includes a list of "Quick Links" to popular UMLS Web pages. Other links on the homepage include UMLS News, Downloads, Metathesaurus License Agreement, and the <em>UMLS Reference Manual</em>.

UMLS Reference Manual</strong><br />
|
|
As part of the UMLS Web site reorganization, NLM rewrote the UMLS Release Documentation as the <a href="//www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=nlmumls"><em>UMLS Reference Manual</em></a>, a new book on the NCBI Bookshelf. Information specific to a UMLS Release, such as sources included in the current version of the Metathesaurus and statistics regarding the number of concepts, remains on the <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/knowledge_sources/metathesaurus/release/index.html">UMLS Web site</a> while general reference information now resides on the Bookshelf. This change allows users to search the general reference information directly within the manual itself. The <em>UMLS Reference Manual</em> has been formatted to increase readability and each chapter can be printed as a PDF file.

<h2>UMLS Webcast</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The reorganized pages were discussed in the UMLS Webcast, "UMLS Web Site Changes." The archived Webcast is available on the <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/user_education/webcasts.html">UMLS Webcasts</a> page.
