Attention UMLS Licensees: 

The 2007AB edition of the UMLS Knowledge Sources is available for 
downloading. 

2007AB Statistics
The 2007AB Metathesaurus contains more than 1.4 million concepts and 7.2 
million unique concept names from over 100 source vocabularies. 26 source 
vocabularies were updated, including SNOMED CT, SNOMED CT - Spanish 
Language Edition, GO, MedDRA, and LOINC. The 1993 version of Online 
Mendelian Inheritance in Man (MIM93) was significantly updated and reflects 
a new source abbreviation (SAB) of OMIM. Two new sources were added: Gold 
Standard Alchemy and Metathesaurus FDA Structured Product Labels, both are 
RxNorm sources. In addition, LOINC 2. includes 3 subsets that are 
represented as separate sources:  Minimum Data Set, 2.0, (LNC_MDS20), 
Outcome and Assessment Information Set, 2002 (LNC_OASIS_2002), and Patient 
Health Questionnaire (LNC_PHQ9_1999).
