Jeff I assume you are trying to review on BABEL? I will leave indexing and efficiency there to KU's discretion.
Jay is pushing a copy along with documentation up to your GITHUB site for you and the SCILHS community to comment. We have set the procedures and software arranged with NLM and we will take responsibility for refreshing the metadata every six months for SCILHS (and GPC) if you approve. The VA/class top level ontology is basically what you have done with the minor exception of renaming some of the ingredient level nodes where the VA has not deployed all formulations of that ingredient class (like CARDIOVASCULAR -BETA BLOCKERS- TIMOLOL where the eye preps of timolol are not included as subtypes for searching. The need to have a metadata set that would index all US drugs is the reason that we added the second alpha ingredient list. Speaking with NLM, NO drug classification - ATC, VA or whatever -is inclusive of all US pharmacopoeia. Ken Mandl co-authored a paper with Olivier Bodenreider discussing that very issue. I would be very interested in your thoughts about this metadata when you get a chance to review Jim -----Original Message----- From: Klann, Jeffrey G.

Can you check your indexes? I’d like to explore your hard work but it’s unusable right now. ( I tried a few random other trees and they were also unbrowsably-slow. Is there an epidemic of bad indexes on babel? ) Thanks, Jeffrey Klann, PhD Instructor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School Instructor in Investigation, Massachusetts General Hospital On 4/11/17, 12:00 PM, "GPC Informatics" <d...@madmode.com> wrote: #280: Medication ontology orgainzed by ingredient -------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: preeder | Owner: jay.pedersen Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: major | Milestone: snow-shrine-2 Component: data-stds | Resolution: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | -------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by dconnolly): Replying to [comment:19 campbell]: > SCILHS/Medication metadata issues addressed with load to BABEL toiday: Which folder has the updated medication metadata? is it **UNMC: Medications (UNMC)**? > • (therefore) with VA drug classes as sole top-level ontology, not all clinical formulations or packages can be deployed So this is a wholesale re-organization of the ontology?
