Making the Marriage: Reconciling Views of Concepts and Meaning in MeSH and the UMLS Metathesaurus
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: The reconciliation of apparent discrepancies between concept structures and previously indicated relationships between unique identifiers is an important step in keeping the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and the UMLS Metathesaurus (Meta) in agreement. This step is a necessary prelude to the planned fusion of the two maintenance environments. A logical analysis of the possible discrepancies allows for recognition of those differences which can be resolved without human review, as well as those which require deeper analysis.
