<p>To install the UMLS on your computer, download the files through the

UTS. The <a

href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/implementation_resources/metamorphosys/index.html">MetamorphoSys</a>
|
||
tool, included with the downloaded files, allows you to customize
|
||
the UMLS according to
|
||
your needs. You can then load your customized data into your own
|
||
database system, such
|
||
as MySQL or Oracle, or you may browse your data using the
|
||
MetamorphoSys RRF browser.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>3) Web Services APIs</b></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>You can use our application programming interfaces <a

|

query the UMLS data
|
||
within your own application.</p>
