Attention UMLS Licensees: 

The 2006AD edition of the UMLS Knowledge Sources  is available for 
downloading. 

2006AD Statistics
The Metathesaurus now contains more than 1.3 million concepts and 6.4 
million unique concept names from more than 100 different source 
vocabularies. In the 2006AD release, 12 source vocabularies were updated, 
including ICD-9-CM and LOINC. One new source, the Authorized Osteopathic 
Thesaurus was added. 

 

A complete list of source changes for this release is available at 
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/updated_sources.html. 


DVDs
 As always, the production and mailing of the DVDs for those who have 
requested them lags the release by about 15 days. Those who have previously 
requested the DVD will automatically be sent a 2006AD DVD. If you want to 
request the DVDs of the releases, send an e-mail to  [log in to unmask], 
and be sure to include your license number. 


Please note: The 2006AD files available for download as of 11/7/06, 3:30PM 
have the corrected Content View Filter. Users who downloaded the 2006AD 
files prior to that time only need to download the new files if they use 
the Content View Filter. 


Thank you,
