The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Knowledge Source Server (UMLSKS) is being redeveloped as a plug-and-play system. This new architecture leverages mature web services and portal technologies for improved information retrieval.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Informatics
  • Information Science

Background:

  • The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) is a vast and complex biomedical terminology resource.
  • Retrieving comprehensive information from the UMLS Knowledge Source Server (UMLSKS) presents significant challenges for diverse users.
  • Previous UMLSKS architectures lacked the modularity and flexibility for a truly plug-and-play system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the development of a new, loosely coupled, plug-and-play UMLSKS.
  • To leverage recent advancements in web services and portal technology for the UMLSKS.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a new UMLSKS architecture over the past year.
  • Implementation utilizing mature web services and portal technologies.
  • Focus on creating a modular and flexible system design.
