What is UMLS?

UMLS (Unified Medical Language System) is a set of files and software that brings together many different health and biomedical vocabularies and standards, allowing computer systems to 'understand' and translate between them. It is commonly used in biomedical informatics, natural language processing, and information retrieval to improve the accuracy and efficiency of accessing and integrating biomedical information from diverse sources. The UMLS integrates vocabularies such as MeSH, SNOMED CT, ICD, and others, facilitating interoperability.
