ATTENTIONNotice of Deprecation
The NCI Terminology Browser is being retired

With the release of EVS 5.0 (tentatively scheduled for 2Q 2009), the EVS will be retiring applications supported by the Legacy caCORE 3.x technology. Among the applications that will be retired is the NCI Terminology Browser. We encourage you to begin using the NCI BioPortal (http://bioportal.nci.nih.gov) for terminology browsing.

If you have questions or concerns about the retirement of the NCI Terminology Browser, or suggestions on a planned special-purpose browser for NCI Thesaurus, please email us at ncicb@pop.nci.nih.gov. For details regarding retirement for the EVS 3.x technology, and for up-to-date schedules and plans, click here.

The NCI Terminology Browser* can be used to view and search the NCI Thesaurus and other biomedical vocabularies.  Select the vocabulary that you want to view by using the radio buttons below, and then click the "Connect" button.  See the Quick Start Guide to help you get going using the NCI Terminology Browser.

The NCI Thesaurus contains controlled terminology used at the NCI.  By default the NCI Terminology Browser displays the NCI Thesaurus, which is a product of the NCI's Enterprise Vocabulary Service, an effort of the NCI Center for Bioinformatics.  The NCI Thesaurus is an open content vocabulary that you are free to use with virtually no restrictions.  It is built so that both humans and computers can interpret it.  If you are interested in programming your systems to use the vocabularies available at the NCI, see the caCORE pages on the NCICB Website for a description of the API and license terms.
