This PHP code library provides tools for extracting Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) descriptors and associated data from a given XML file into an object representation.
It expects its input to be compliant with the 2019 or 2020 MeSH DTDs.
Use composer to add this library to your project.
composer require ilios/mesh-parserInstantiate \Ilios\MeSH\Parser and invoke its parse() method with an URI that points at valid MeSH descriptors
XML file.
This method call will return an instance of \Ilios\MeSH\Model\DescriptorSet; this is the entry point into
the object representation of the descriptors data model.
Use getter methods on this object and its sub-components to traverse and process this model.
<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
// provide an URL or a local file path.
//$uri = 'ftp://nlmpubs.nlm.nih.gov/online/mesh/MESH_FILES/xmlmesh/desc2020.xml';
$uri = __DIR__ . '/desc2019.xml';
// instantiate the parser and parse the input.
$parser = new \Ilios\MeSH\Parser();
$set = $parser->parse($uri);
// process parsed data, e.g.
$descriptor = $set->findDescriptorByUi('D000001');
echo "Descriptor ID (Name): {$descriptor->getUi()} ({$descriptor->getName()})\n";
$concepts = $descriptor->getConcepts();
foreach($concepts as $concept) {
echo "- Concept ID (Name): {$concept->getUi()} ({$concept->getName()})\n";
$terms = $concept->getTerms();
foreach ($terms as $term) {
// ...
}
