These operations must be performed on a machine running Microsoft Windows operating system with the MS Access database product installed. There are two steps to loading a subset into an MS Access database: Thu, 25 Jun 2009 06:26:03 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/docline/ff3_0_settings.html National Library of Medicine 11465 From the main menu, select Tools, then select Options.

Joining SAB, TTY on MRRANK.RRF will yield rank and suppressibility information. Searching for a LAT, TS, STT, TTY, or SUPPRESS value in MRDOC.RRF (where DOCKEY is the field name) will yield expanded forms of the abbreviations used within MRCONSO.RRF. Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:10:43 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/query_diagrams/er7.html National Library of Medicine 11442 This diagram shows how to perform searches in the UMLS history files (MRAUI.RRF and MRCUI.RRF). Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:10:40 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/query_diagrams/index.html National Library of Medicine 11443   Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:10:40 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/query_diagrams/er3.html National Library of Medicine 11444 This diagram shows how to find all information associated with a particular source concept (SCUI value). This kind of search will yield all of the information about a source concept, from the source's point of view. The first search, in MRCONSO.RRF, will yield information about all of the atoms contained within that source concept. Further searches in the other files will yield information about relationships, attributes, and hierarchies. Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:10:40 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/query_diagrams/er10.html National Library of Medicine 11441 This diagram shows how to perform searches for root and versioned source metadata concepts. Each source contained within the UMLS is also represented as a concept in the UMLS. In fact, it is represented as two concepts: one with version information and one without. These are all labeled with SAB = 'SRC' and thus are known as "SRC" concepts. The "root SRC" concept (unversioned) remains the same as versions of that source are updated. The "versioned SRC" concept changes as updates of that source are applied to the UMLS. These concepts can always be found by their code values. Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:10:36 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/query_diagrams/er1.html National Library of Medicine 11440 This diagram shows how to find all information associated with a particular UMLS concept (CUI value). The information returned could be compiled into a "concept report" showing an overview of what the UMLS concept contains. Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:10:35 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/query_diagrams/er8.html National Library of Medicine 11438 This diagram shows how to perform searches in the source history file (MRHIST.RRF). Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:10:34 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/query_diagrams/er12.html National Library of Medicine 11439 This diagram shows how to perform searches for subset metadata concepts. Any source asserted subset within the UMLS has a metadata concept within the UMLS with TTY = 'SB'. These concepts are associated with a variety of attributes (found in MRSAT.RRF) that provide the metadata. Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:10:34 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/query_diagrams/er5.html National Library of Medicine 11437 This diagram shows how to find all information associated with the metadata of a particular relationship (RUI value) or attribute (ATUI value). Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:10:33 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/query_diagrams/er9.html National Library of Medicine 11435 This diagram shows how to perform searches in the mapping files. Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:10:30 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/query_diagrams/er2.html National Library of Medicine 11436 This diagram shows how to find all information associated with a particular atom (AUI value). Typically, when performing AUI searches, the most useful starting point is MRCONSO.RRF. This kind of search will yield all of the relevant fields of an atom. With this information you can search for data residing in other files that are connected to this atom. Note: as semantic types are concept properties, an atom's semantic type is found by searching for the semantic type of its concept. Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:10:30 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/query_diagrams/er6.html National Library of Medicine 11434 This diagram shows how to perform searches for normalized strings (NSTR), normalized words (NWD), or regular words (WD). Normalized string and normalized word searches expect that strings or words have been processed by the NORM program, one of the Lexical Tools. For more information on the Lexical Tools in the UMLS, look here: http://lexsrv3.nlm.nih.gov/SPECIALIST/index.html Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:10:28 EDT http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/query_diagrams/er11.html National Library of Medicine 11433 This diagram shows how to perform searches for content view metadata concepts. Content views are pre-computed subsets of the UMLS that are useful for specific purposes. Each content view contained within the UMLS is also represented as a concept in the UMLS. These concepts contain atoms with SAB = 'MTH' and TTY = 'CV'. The STR of the CV atom is the "name" of the content view. These atoms are associated with a variety of attributes (found in MRSAT.RRF) that provide the content view metadata.
