UMLS Concept and Relation Mapping

Mapping Open Resources to UMLS Concepts

The goal of mapping the annotations to ontologies is to extend the expressivity and richness of the SemRep annotations. An example is shown in Figure 1 below. The gray nodes connected by the inhibits, treats, and ISA edges illustrate three annotations provided by SemRep. All other nodes and edges are those that will be added to as a result of this project.

Figure 1. Mapping open resources and ontology identifiers to SemRep concept and relation annotations

The table below illustrates the mappings we intend to make between the UMLS resources we are including and ontologies. The second half of the table is specifically focused on the mappings between Semantic Network relations and ontologies. Information source. Please note that the mappings from the Semantic Network Relations to the OBO ontologies is still in progress.
