UMLS Identifiers Supported? about nameresolution HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi Kamilah -

This is potentially a bit confusing, so let me know if my explanation doesn't make sense. Both name-resolver and node-normalization are fed from the same set of identity cliques. So in other words, we look at all of the e.g. mondo and umls and whatever and find all the identifiers that we consider as being equivalent, and form them into a group. Each of those identifiers has its own set of textual labels and synonyms.

In name resolver we take text like "cystic fibrosis" and find the matches to those cliques. But when we return a clique, we don't return all of the identifiers for the clique, just the preferred identifier. With that preferred identifier, you can query nodenormalizer to get all the other identifiers. So for instance:
https://nodenormalization-sri.renci.org/1.3/get_normalized_nodes?curie=MONDO%3A0009061&conflate=true

You can see in that nodenorm call that UMLS:C0010674 is returned.

That makes sense! Next time, I will use name-resolver and node-normalizer together to get a complete list of CURIEs. Thank you.
