Unified Medical Language System
In 1986, the National Library of Medicine (NLM), began a long term research and development project to build a Unified Medical Language System ® (UMLS ® ). The purpose of the UMLS is to aid the development of systems that help health professionals and researchers retrieve and integrate electronic biomedical information from a variety of sources and to make it easy for users to link disparate information systems, including computer-based patient records, bibliographic databases, factual databases, and expert systems. The UMLS project develops 'Knowledge Sources' that can be used by a wide variety of applications programs to overcome retrieval problems caused by differences in terminology and the scattering of relevant information across many databases.
