MetaMap is a highly configurable program that maps biomedical text to
concepts in the
UMLS®
Metathesaurus®. MetaMap also
forms the core of the Semantic
Knowledge Representation (SKR) Project suite of programs, and is the
basis for one of the indexing methods in the
NLM Indexing Initiative's
Medical Text Indexer (MTI).
For more information on MetaMap and the SKR Project, please see
the SKR Homepage and
SKR Research
Information web pages. For additional information on MTI and the
NLM Indexing Initiative, please see the

Between August 15, 2005 and January 17, 2006, we processed all 14,792,864
citations from the 2005
Medline®/PubMed® Baseline through the
MetaMap program generating both
Machine and
Human Readable formatted results for each of the citations.
We were able to process all but six (6) of the citations. These "bad"
citations are being reviewed to see why we were not able to process them.
The results from the remaining 14,792,858 citations are now available
via the MBR Query Tool in either of
the two formats.
Please note that the large size of these results requires care when
choosing as an output format from the
MBR Query Tool. The Human Readable
results have a compressed size of 25GB, and the Machine Readable
results are almost twice the size with 44GB in compressed form.
