<strong>UMLS</strong> editing process<br />
• Analysis of incoming terminology: domain,<br />
file structure, concept-oriented or not,<br />
hierarchies, term types etc.<br />
• The smallest units (an atom – usually an<br />
individual string associated <strong>with</strong> a code) are<br />
inserted in <strong>the</strong> editing environment<br />
• The atoms are algorithmically assigned into<br />
existing or new concepts based on lexical<br />
matching <strong>with</strong> existing terms<br />
• Potential problems (e.g. conflicts) are flagged<br />
for review by <strong>UMLS</strong> editors
