Dataset Card for MRAUI Data

Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

The MRAUI data is a part of the UMLS (Unified Medical Language System) Metathesaurus, specifically available in the Rich Release Format (RRF). This dataset contains records of movements of Atom Unique Identifiers (AUI) between different concepts (CUI) across versions of the Metathesaurus. It provides a detailed record of changes in atom assignments and mappings, facilitating the tracking of updates and adjustments in medical terminology and concept relationships.

Purpose

The MRAUI dataset serves as a critical resource for understanding the historical changes and mappings of atom identifiers within the UMLS Metathesaurus. It helps developers and researchers track updates, ensuring accurate and up-to-date representations of medical concepts and their relationships, thereby supporting medical informatics applications and other health-related software solutions.

Column Descriptions

AUI1 (Atom Unique Identifier 1)

• Description: A unique identifier for the first atom involved in the movement or mapping.
• Values: Alphanumeric strings of 89 characters, such as A0019180. Each value uniquely identifies an atom within the dataset.

CUI1 (Concept Unique Identifier 1)

• Description: A unique identifier for the first concept associated with AUI1.
• Values: Alphanumeric strings of 88 characters, such as C0001175. Each value uniquely identifies a concept within the dataset.

VER (Version)

• Description: The version of the Metathesaurus in which the change to the AUI first occurred.
• Values: Alphanumeric strings, such as 2004AC, representing various versions of the Metathesaurus.

MAPREASON (Reason for Mapping)

• Description: The reason for the mapping or movement of the atom identifier.
• Values: Alphanumeric string, typically a single value such as move, indicating the reason for the mapping.

AUI2 (Atom Unique Identifier 2)

• Description: A unique identifier for the second atom involved in the movement or mapping.
• Values: Alphanumeric strings of 89 characters, such as A0021048. Each value uniquely identifies an atom within the dataset.

CUI2 (Concept Unique Identifier 2)

• Description: A unique identifier for the second concept associated with AUI2. It represents the current concept that CUI1 most closely maps to.
• Values: Alphanumeric strings of 88 characters, such as C0001175. Each value uniquely identifies a concept within the dataset.

MAPIN (Mapping in Current Subset)

• Description: Indicates whether AUI2 is in the current subset. Possible values are Y (Yes), N (No), or null.
• Values: Alphanumeric string indicating the inclusion status of AUI2 in the current subset.
