NAME UMLS::Interface CHANGES Changes from version 1.49 to 1.51 1. added a function to obtain all the descendants of a given CUI 2. added a corresponding utils program Changes from version 1.47 to 1.49 1. added a getAllSts function to CuiFinder.pm and Interface.pm 2. added --all option to getSts.pl to return a list of all semantic types in the UMLS 3. added a getAllSemanticGroups function to CuiFinder.pm and Interface.pm 4. added --all option to getSemanticGroups.pl to return a list of all semantic types in the UMLS 5. added --sg option to getSts.pl to return list of semantic types given a semantic group 6. added getStsFromSg function to CuiFinder.pm and Interface.pm Changes from version 1.45 to 1.47 1. added a getDUI.pl program in the utils/ directory to obtain the DUI of a given CUI. 2. modified CuiFinder.pm for this functionality Changes from version 1.43 to 1.45 1. modified PathFinder.pm to account for finding the shortest path between two concepts in realtime when the path goes down and then back up Changes from version 1.41 to 1.43 1. added findAncestors function which returns a hash of a given CUIs ancestors 2. added findAncestors.pl program to utils/ Changes from version 1.39 to 1.41 1. add the findNumberTurns.pl program to the utils/ directory. 2. modified findShortestPath.pl to set the realtime option automatically when using --undirected 3. added a setRealtimeOption and setUndirectedOption to the Interface.pm module and their subsequent Finder modules Changes from version 1.37 to 1.39 1. modification of path information to account for changes the SNOMEDCT -- added SUPPRESS='N' to obtain the PAR/CHD and RB/RN relations between CUIs 2. modified the test cases to account for the SNOMEDCT name change to SNOMEDCT_US in the database Changes from version 1.34 to 1.37 1. updated the documentation and test parameters for the intrinsic IC meaures. Changes from version 1.33 to 1.35 1. updated the IC measure modules to store the parameters required to calculate Intrinisic IC while the index is being created rather than done on the fly. To do them on the fly you can use the realtime parameter can be set. 2. added test cases to getIC.t 3. modified getIC.pl with the --intrinsic (sanchez|seco) option. I also don't require an icpropagation or icfrequency file to specified -- use the default if one is not provided. Changes from version 1.31 to 1.33 1. Updated documentation 2. Added getIntrinsicIC function and corresponding util/ program Changes from version 1.29 to 1.31 1. modified ICFinder.pm to return an error if the icfrequency information does not match the configuration file -- similar to what we do with icpropagation Changes from version 1.27 to 1.29 1. modified loading the IC propagation file to require only on CUI per file -- prior it allowed for multiple -- this played havoc on the web interface. Changes from version 1.25 to 1.27 1. modified the To Do list Changes from version 1.23 to 1.25 1. modified the utils/ programs database options - some where not working correctly. They all should be operational now! Changes from version 1.21 to 1.23 1. added a --relations option to getCuiList.pl in order to obtain the number of specified relations from given CUIs Changes from version 1.19 to 1.21 1. modified Interface.pm documentation 2. added the --parents and --children option to getCuiList in order obtain the number of parents and children from given CUIs in a specified source Changes from version 1.17 to 1.19 1. modified the getSemanticGroup.pl program to include an --st option which returns the semantic group of a given semantic type 2. created an stGetSemanticGroup() function to return the semantic group of a given semantic type in the Interface.pm module 3. Added API function information to the Interface.pm perldoc Changes from version 1.15 to 1.17 1. modified getIC.pl and getCuiDepth.pl to take in a CUI as input properly - there was an error 2. added the API documentation Changes from version 1.13 to 1.15 1. updated README documentation 2. made a change in getCuiDef.pl. The definition was not being returned when a CUI was used as input although the term was working just fine. 3. made a change in getExtendedDef.pl. If a term was entered the associated CUI was obtained from the SAB variable rather than the SABDEF 4. added configuration checks to getCuiDef.pl and getExtendedDef.pl 5. added ability to use ' in the term without having to escape it. For example: findPathToRoot.pl "Alzheimer's Disease" Changes from version 1.11 to 1.13 1. added the STFinder module which returns the information content of a semantic type using the isa relations in the semantic network to propagate the counts 2. added the --st option to findPathToRoot.pl which finds all the paths to the root given a semantic type (TUI or Abbreviation) using the isa relations in the semantic network 3. added the --st option to findShortestPath.pl which finds the shortest path between two semantic types (TUIs or Abbreviations) using the isa relations in the semantic network Changes from version 1.09 to 1.11 1. modified the ICFinder module to include a setPropagationParameters function to set the propagation parameters outside of initialization of the interface package. Changes from version 1.07 to 1.09 1. modified the input and output of the perl modules to pass everything by reference 2. modified the .pl programs to account for this 3. updated the synopsis code Changes from version 1.05 to 1.07 1. modified test cases for getCuiDef Changes from version 1.03 to 1.05 1. modified the getDefConceptList to use the sabdef source(s) rather than the sab source(s). 2. added the following options to getCuiList.pl --term -> prints out the terms --st -> prints out the CUIs that have the specified semantic type --sg -> prints out the CUIs that have the specified semantic group Changes from version 1.01 to 1.03 1. updated the synopsis code in the .pm modules Changes from version 0.101 to 1.01 1. modified the version number - this release was specifically about modifying the version number because cpan doesn't realize that .101 is greater than .99 2. updated documentation Changes from version 0.99 to 0.101 1. revised the program to obtain the semantic group of a cui or term <- no input file needed now 2. added getSemanticGroup function in Interface.pm and its corresponding _getSemanticGroup function in CuiFinder.pm 3. added getSemanticGroup.t test program in t/ 4. revised getSts.t test program in t/ 5. added a getSemanticRelation.pl program in the utils/ directory along with its corresponding functions and test cases Changes from version 0.97 to 0.99 1. added program to obtain the semantic group of a cui or a term 2. added an --infile FILE option to getSts.pl 3. added a reConfig function which takes in a new configuration parameters Changes from version 0.95 to 0.97 1. I forgot to add the new configuration files for the test cases Changes from version 0.93 to 0.95 1. added a getDefTermList() function to obtain the concepts using the SABDEF information rather than the SAB information 2. modified the getExtendedDef() function to reflect this 3. modified the getCuiDef() function to print out the term as well as the CUI when returning the definition Changes from version 0.91 to 0.93 1. modified the configuration options such that if not defined in the configuration file they use their respective defaults. 2. return error message if source in the configuration file does not exist in the current view of the UMLS. 3. added a getDefConceptList() function to obtain the concepts using the SABDEF information rather than the SAB information Changes from version 0.89 to 0.91 1. modified documentation 2. added a length cache for the realtime option so once you find the path length in realtime, it will store that for you. This is similar to what I did for the depth only this only runs during realtime - other wise there is the index that is created so there is no point in having both due to space issues. Changes from version 0.87 to 0.89 1. added the mysql_auto_reconnect option to the database variables Changes from version 0.85 to 0.87 1. changed the IC to return log base 10 rather than the natural log (which is the default in perl) 2. added a new util/ program findNumberOfCloserConcepts.pl to coincide with the new function findNumberOfCloserConcepts() Changes from version 0.83 to 0.85 1. added a new program called getCompounds.pl which returns a list of compounds from the MRCONSO table given a specified set of sources in the configuration table 2. added the getCompound() function in the Interface.pm module to support this program Changes from version 0.81 to 0.83 1. modified the --icpropagation option in findShortestPath.pl and the findPathToRoot.pl programs. The option was not working properly. 2. modified getChildren to include the upper level taxonomy even if it isn't explicitily stated in MRREL Changes from version 0.79 to 0.81 1. added a forbidden CUI: C2733115|limited status concept which was introduced in UMLS 2010AA Changes from version 0.77 to 0.79 1. added --level option to findDFS.pl which prints out the number of leafs and nodes above a specified depth 2. added the mean information to findDFS.pl 3. modified getChildren and getParent to print out the preferred term of a cui rather than a random associated one. 4. added a developers-check to the t directory Changes from version 0.75 to 0.77 1. added a getStString.pl program to utils/ 2. added a findShortestPathLength.pl program to utils/ 3. fixed error in the find shortest path length function Changes from version 0.73 to 0.75 1. added average maximum depth to the findDFS.pl program 2. modified the findShortestPathLength function to obtain the length using the index when the --realtime option is not used. 3. added standard deviation from average depth to the findDFS.pl program Changes from version 0.71 to 0.73 1. modified the shortest path - there was a problem with the directed paths - I was getting some undirected ones mixed in there. This should not have affected the length of the shortest path just the paths themselves. 2. modified utils programs to return the preferred term of a concept rather than just any term. 3. modified the depth() function to obtain the maximum cui depth of the concepts in the view when called - these are stored in a database currently 4. modified the findMaximumDepth function to cache the maximum depth of cuis when found (storing them in the same database as mentioned above). Changes from version 0.69 to 0.71 1. There are two functions that currently exist: getTermList() -> returns CUIs terms that exist in the sources specified in the configuration file getAllTermList() -> returns CUIs terms from the entire UMLS I added to new functions: getPreferredTerm() -> returns the CUIs preferred term if it exists in the sources specified in the configuration file getAllPreferredTerm()-> returns the CUIs preferred term 2. For the getAssociatedTerms.pl program , there is an additional option called: --preferred Here are the options: 1. --config FILE returns the cuis associated terms from the sources specified in the configuration file 2. --preferred --config FILE returns the cuis preferred term from the sources specified in the configuration file 3. --preferred returns the cuis preferred term 4. no config and no preferred option returns the cuis associated terms from the entire UMLS 5. removed added white space in the config file parameters - this was causing an error sometimes 6. made certain that the parent/children information is only being obtained if in the configuration file. There was a problem with this using RELDEF :: include and a single option such as CHD. 7. restrict util programs to heirarchical relations - PAR/CHD and RB/RN - findCuiDepth - findDFS - findLeastCommonSubsumer - findPathToRoot 8. modified the default source and relation output 9. added an --infile option to getAssociatedTerms.pl 10. modified the getMinimumCuiDepth to speed up the process Changes from version 0.67 to 0.69 1. Updated configuration file reading for spaces 2. Updated icfrequency and icpropagation files to include the total number of concepts - I call this N 3. Added getFrequency() function which returns the frequency of a concept - after propagation 4. Modified documentation - hope it is clearer 5. Added a getN() function which returns the total number of concepts in the icpropgation or icfrequency file 6. Updated getExtendedDefinition to include the source in which the term originates 7. Updated getExtendedDefinition to allow include the defintiion of the concepts semantic type 8. Allowed the definitions to come from all the sources in the MRDEF table when using UMLS_ALL rather than all the sources in the MRREL table. 9. Added the new shortest path measure Changes from version 0.65 to 0.67 1. Fixed the RELADEF parameter 2. Added better parameter check for propagation Changes from version 0.63 to 0.65 1. modified N in creating the probability of a concept for propagation 2. modified documentation 3. Added the RELADEF option 4. Added the UMLS_ALL parameter for RELADEF and RELDEF 5. put the shortest path back to what we had. The previous version shortest path works but it isn't as fast as we would like. We are still working on this. Changes from version 0.61 to 0.63 1. updated the source and relation output for SABDEF/RELDEF and SAB/REl 2. the UMLS_ROOT showing up as a child of C0282503 - that seems a bit odd (priority) we figured out why - this node seems to be part of three sources: MSH, NCI and HL7v2.5 (as a PAR/CHD relationship). we are fixing this by creating a fake root: C0000000 3. implement shortest path algorithm (priority) 4. implement the lcs algorithm for the new shortest path (priority) 5. allow SABDEF, SABREL and REL to have the UMLS_ALL option 6. add --undirected option to shortest path 7. require that both the SAB and REL or SABDEF and RELDEF be specified Changes from version 0.59 to 0.61 1. add validOptions() check in the Interface.pm module -> I actually called it checkOptions since this is consistent with other functions that do this 2. change the synopsis of the Finder modules so that are unique and describe what they do better (priority) 3. add a check in the table file of the index to make certain that the program completed 4. Get --icfrequency option up and running 5. write the SAB and REL info on the top lines of the icpropagation file, and then check those relative to the config file being used 6. perldoc should give a quick intro to what propagation is, and how we are doing the actual calculations of info content values 7. Add --smooth option 8. document how the smoothing is done in the perldoc 9. document the --icfrequency option 10. add check to RELA requiring REL if specified 11. move error checking into separate module 12. add RELA to the documentation 13. create getExtendedRelation function using SABDEF and use that instead of getRelated in the getExtendedDefinition function Changes from version 0.57 to 0.59 1. fixed an error that happened when trying to obtain the depth of a taxonomy when not in --realtime 2. cleaned up documentation and STDERR output a bit 3. add check to make certain that that the .t programs can only be called in the main directory 4. change mkpath and rmtree to make_path() and remove_tree() in the .t files 5. reorganized the Finder modules Changes from version 0.55 to 0.57 1. add a more complete configuration file in the samples directory 2. updated the documentation 3. Added --info option to getParent.pl and getChild.pl to display the source information (similar to the --info option in findPathtoRoot?) Changes from version 0.53 to 0.55 1. There are significant changes in the Interface.pm module but if everything went well you should not notice them at all. We split the functionality of Interface.pm into three module: CuiFinder.pm PathFinder.pm ICFinder.pm These modules is where the main code is but the API is still through the Interface.pm module so you should not have to access these at all. 2. modification in the findLeatCommonSubsumer.pl out. The output would be as follows: the least common subsumer between C0007286 (C0007286) and hypertrophic arthritis, nos (C0029408) is other soft tissue disorders (disorder) (C0158370). Fix this to print out the term rather than the CUI twice. 3. Added an addition to forbidden concepts: unapproved attribute (C1443286) 4. Removed bignum from UMLS-Interface 5. Know uses SABDEF and RELDEF for the extended definition and definition configuration options rather than DEF 6. The getCuiDef.pl displays the source of definitions when using the --sab option 7. The findShortestPath.pl and FindLeastCommonSubsumer.pl do not go through all their path finding when CUI1 and CUI2 are the same 9. The exclude option is now working for SAB, REL and RELA 10. Obtains the source in which a relationship exists between two concepts. We now have a method called: getRelationBetweenTwoCuis($cui1, $cui2); 11. There are new examples of how to go about specifing the config option in the API code. These are in the Interface.pm module documentation under CONFIGURATION FILE and I think the README does a decent job of it now, as well. Changes from version 0.51 to 0.53 Added the --debugpath FILE option to the path util/ programs and the UMLS-Interface. This option prints out the path information on the fly for debuging purposes. It works only with the --realtime function because otherwise an index is built. If you need the path information in the index you can use the --verbose option while creating the index and it will print it to a file. Changes from version 0.49 to 0.51 1. Modified Interface.pm to accept either a propagation file or a frequency file when returning the information content of a CUI. I also modified the format these files are required. 2. Added a README in the samples/ directory 3. Updated documentation 4. Added example files to the samples/ directory Changes from version 0.47 to 0.49 1. Added the getExtendedDefinition function 2. Modified the configuration file to accept what relations should be included in the extended defintion. The format is: DEF :: include TERM, CUI, PAR, CHD, SIB, SYN, RB, RN where TERM refers to the associated terms of a concept CUI refers to the CUIs definition and the rest are the definition of the relations. 3. Created a samples/ directory which contains an example of the configuration file Changes from version 0.45 to 0.47 1. Added a t/ test case for each of the programs in the utils/ directory 2. Added the --infile option for findPathsToRoot.pl The format consists of a CUI or term each on its own line. 3. Added the --infile option for findCuiDepth.pl The format is the same as above. Changes from version 0.43 to 0.45 Modified the way that the path information was being returned. It was causing some problems with UMLS-Similarity Changes from version 0.41 to 0.43 1. Added the terms associated to concept2 and the lcs in the findLeastCommonSubsumer program 2. Added the --info option to the findPathsToRoot program Changes from version 0.39 to 0.41 1. Modified the findShortestPath and findLeastCommonSubsumer functions to return all of the paths and LCS's if there is more than one. Changes from version 0.37 to 0.39 1. Added the following options to findLeastCommonSubsumer a. --infile File containing TERM or CUI pairs b. --depth Outputs the depth of the lcs c. --propagation FILE Outputs the IC of the lcs 2. Added the following options to findShortestPath a. --propagation FILE Outputs the IC of the lcs b. --length Outputs the length of the path c. --info Outputs the source and relation information between the concepts in the path Changes from version 0.35 to 0.37 1. Revised the way the propagation of counts is handled 2. Renamed everything spelt propogation to propagation 3. Updated documentation Changes from version 0.33 to 0.35 1. Added the ability to propogation counts given a propogation file. Currently the format of that file is: Frequency|CUI|String So for example: 1|C0018563|hand The concept C0018563 has a frequency count of one and is associated with the term hand. The string really isn't necessary but I like to know what a CUI means. This input format may be changed in the future to accept a file but I might also create a program in the util/ directory that given a file it will create this for you. To do this the propogation parameter must be set to the location of the propogation file. 2. Added the getPropogationCount.pl program to the util/ directory. This is used to obtain the propogation count of a specified CUI. 3. Added a getIC() function which takes in a CUI and returns its information content based on the propagation file 4. I also added a getPropogationCount() function which takes in a CUI and returns the propogation count of a given concept 5. Added getCuiList() program to the util directory and its associated function in the Interface.pm module. This allows you to get a list of CUIs given the sources and relations in a config file. 6. Added a --debug option to print out function information for debuging purposes. 7. Added a --propogation PROPOGATIONFILE option to findPathToRoot.pl which will return the propogation count of the CUIs in the path 8. Combined the following util programs: a. findMaximumCuiDepth and findMinimumCuiDepth => findCuiDepth b. queryCui and queryCui-SAB -> getAssociatedTerms 9. Changed the name of the following util programs a. queryTerm -> getAssociatedCuis b. dfs -> findDFS 10. Added a --propogation option for findPathToRoot to return the propogation counts of the CUIs in the path. Changes from version 0.31 to 0.33 1. fixed the error in the make tests - they would not work properly unless you had the UMLS-Interface environment variable set for the location of the configuration files even though we weren't using them. Changes from version 0.29 to 0.31 1. Changed all of the table names into hex form!! This is important because it now means the versions aren't back compatible. Why did I do this - well the table names were getting long the more sources and relations that were added. If to many were used an error is thrown because there were too many characters in the table name. I created two utils/ programs the first is returnTableNames.pl. This returns all of the table names in both hex and human readable form (the original form) that were created for a specified config file. The second is returnAllTableNames.pl which returns all of the table names (in hex and the original form) that have been created by the package. These tables are stored in a database called umlsinterfaceindex. One nice thing is that this will be the only database created now. 2. The getSab() disappeared - I must have erased it - it is back! 3. The RELA option in the config file is now up and running. So you can now not only specify a set of sources and relations but also RELAs - as long as the RELA exists in the source and relation combination. If it doesn't I just continue on right now - I could error out though - not certain which is the best thing to do right now. 4. You can use other relations in UMLS-Interface now, like, for example, RO. I don't connect these though to the root so if they are not either connected to the root itself (like in SNOMEDCT but unlike in FMA) it will only connect through additional relations. 5. The make tests have been expanded 6. Added a --realtime option. This allows the path information to be obtained on the fly rather than prebuilding the umlsinterface index. You will notice these in the util/ programs 7. There is a UMLS_ALL tag that can be used in the configuration file in replace of the source names. For example, to use the entire UMLS with the PAR/CHD relations, the configuration file would be as follows: SAB :: include UMLS_ALL REL :: include PAR, CHD Changes from version 0.27 to 0.29 1. Added a dfs.pl program which is located in the utils/ directory. This program runs a dfs over a specified set of sources and relations in the UMLS and returns: 1. the maximum depth 2. paths to root 3. sources 4. maximum branching factor 5. average branching factor 6. number of leaf nodes 7. number of nodes 8. root 2. Added a function in Interface.pm called getAllTerms() which returns all of the possible terms of a given CUI along with their source(s). This is for all of the strings associated with the CUI in the MRCONSO table so you can't specify a source for this one. If you would like to do that use the getTermList function instead. There is also a program in the utils/ directory which uses this called queryCui-Sab.pl 3. Added the functionality to store only the path information of a given set of cuis. To do this you need to use the --cuilist option which takes in a file containing CUIs. Note that each CUI needs to be on a seperate line. Changes from version 0.25 to 0.27 1. Added a --verbose option will print out path information to a file rather than having this be done automatically. This will reduce the amount of storage space required to hold the path information for a given set of sources and relations. Changes from version 0.23 to 0.25 1. Fixed mysql error that was occuring in UMLS-Interface DBD::mysql::db do failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/UMLS/Interface.pm line 1063, line 2. This was also happening on line 1066 - both should be fixed now. 2. Updated INSTALL documentation - nothing major just some clean up 3. Added a --forcerun option which will bypass any questions about whether or not you would like to set up an index on a specified set of relations/sources 4. Updated the documentation of the programs in the util/ directory Changes from version 0.21 to 0.23 1. Added a getRelation function which returns all the possible relations in the MRREL file given a specified CUI and source. There is a corresponding util program getRelation.pl to show how this is used. 2. Modified checking the existance of the UMLS tables. Before it was expecting the table names to be all capatalized but now they can be in lower case as well. Changes from version 0.19 to 0.21 1. Added check to see if program files exist prior to removing them just in case they don't exist an error isn't going to display 2. Had an error in getCuiDef.pl when the input was a term. This has been fixed. 3. Modified the upper level taxonomy to be written to tables in its appropriate database. 4. Add the program removeConfigData.pl which will remove the database and all of the associated files created by the program given a specified configuration. Changes from version 0.17 to 0.19 1. Modified the documentation in the utils/ programs. The descriptions were just a mess Changes from version 0.15 to 0.17 1. In SNOMED CT there exist concepts that are used to show why a concept is retired. Unfortunately, the relationship linking that reason to the retired concept is 'is-a'. So you have for example 'stenosis' is-a 'non-current concept - ambiguous'. This is understandable in a plain English sense but doesn't fit into the hierarchical sense of an 'is-a' relationship. We now exclude these nodes: C1274012|Ambiguous concept (inactive concept) C1276325|Reason not stated concept (inactive concept) C1274013|Duplicate concept (inactive concept) C1274014|Outdated concept (inactive concept) C1274015|Erroneous concept (inactive concept) C1274021|Moved elsewhere (inactive concept) If you have a strong reason why they should still be there send us an email and we can probably work something else out. 2. When using the RB/RN and PAR/CHD relations not all of the upper level taxonomy was being looked at to obtain the path information. This has been fixed. 3. Moved the dropTemporaryTables.pl program to removeConfigData.pl and added the functionality to drop the files associated with the configuration data as well. 4. The UMLS-Interface module was not accepting the a configuration file if the first one was printed out incorrectly. We fixed this. 5. Added configuration file information printed out to STDERR containing source, relation and configuration file location information. 6. Added a file option to the findShortestPath.pl program: --inputfile FILE A file containing pairs of concepts or terms in the following format: term1<>term2 or cui1<>cui2 or cui1<>term2 or term1<>cui2 Changes from version 0.13 to 0.15 1. Added three new functions for semantic types: getSt which returns the semantic type TUI of a given CUI getStAbr which returns the semantic type abbreviation given the semantic type TUI getStString which returns the semantic type string given the semantic type abbreviation 2. Added a program to the utils/ directory: getSt.pl which returns the semantic type of a given CUI or TERM in the UMLS. This program uses the three above functions. 3. Added the function checkConceptExists which returns true or false whether a concept exists in the current view of the UMLS (this is based on the sources and relations that are being used). This function was hidden but it seemed like it could be useful to others as well - it became useful for me anyway :) 4. Modified the SYNOPSIS section in the Interface.pm module to include all or at least most of the different functions available through the Interface.pm module. 5. Fixed the permissions on the configuration file directory when it is being created. And chmod the individual files after they were created. Hopefully now they will be created with read and write privlidges so you can see them if you install using the -MCPAN option. 6. Modified the findPathToRoot.pl and findShortestPath.pl to include the term associated with the CUI in the path 7. I forgot to add the UMLS Root to the PATH in the pathToRoot function. It is now added. Changes from version 0.11 to 0.13 1. Speed up the getTermList() option when all of the sources are being used 2. Modified documentation 3. Added the function findMinimumDepth and findMaximumDepth which returns the minimum and maximum depth of a CUI respectively given the view of the UMLS Changes from version 0.09 to 0.11 1. Modified the Changelog directory and tried to remember to add them to the release! 2. Modified documenation - tried to get the misspelling and obvious errors removed. 3. Removed the HTML documentation Changes from version 0.03 to 0.09 1. Allowed the program to create the directory that we prompt the user for (the location that the config files should be stored) if it doesn't exist rather than requiring it be already created. 2. Modified the location of where the utils/ programs are installed. All of them now get installed and they are all in the same location. 3. Found a bug in the code that reads the configuration file. Error would occur if trying to exclude a source. Changes from version 0.01 to 0.03 1. Removed the need for UMLSINTERFACE environment variable indicating the location of the UMLS. Now we prompt the user for the location that the config files should be stored and ask them to set a UMLSINTERFACE_CONFIGFILE_DIR variable.
