We developed a Web Services Architecture to make the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Knowledge Source accessible over the web. This enables easier integration and automatic discovery of UMLS resources for computer systems.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Bioinformatics
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Web services facilitate interoperability between heterogeneous applications.
  • The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Knowledge Source (KS) provides access to biomedical vocabularies and standards.
  • Current access methods may limit the reusability and integration of UMLSKS resources in distributed environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a Web Services Architecture for the UMLSKS.
  • To encapsulate the UMLSKS-API for distributed access.
  • To enable intelligent and automatic discovery and invocation of UMLS services.

Main Methods:

  • Designing a Web Services Architecture.
  • Encapsulating the UMLSKS-API within the architecture.

  • Implementing web service standards for reusability and interoperability.

    • Main Results:

    • A functional Web Services Architecture for the UMLSKS.
    • Demonstrated encapsulation of UMLSKS-API.
    • Established a foundation for distributed access to UMLSKS resources.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed architecture enables broader accessibility and integration of UMLSKS.
    • This facilitates automatic discovery and invocation of UMLS services in distributed systems.
    • Represents a significant step towards intelligent web-based biomedical informatics resources.
