#Enterprise e concept art code#
Hundreds of NCIt subsets and other code lists are maintained by EVS, and most are now available as CTS 2 value sets following the Common Terminology Services Release 2 (CTS 2) specification.
NCIm starts from a subset of NLM's UMLS Metathesaurus, and modifies and extends it with many additional sources. NCIm contains most terminologies used by NCI for clinical care, translational and basic research, and provides a rich source of definitions, synonyms, codes, and other information.
NCIt combined and extended core NCI terminologies within a scientifically and technically rigorous framework.
EVS also makes available standalone versions of other terminologies and ontologies of special interest, and provides access with extensive cross-mappings to more than 75 terminologies in the NCI Metathesaurus. EVS publishes NCI Thesaurus (NCIt) as its core reference terminology and biomedical ontology. EVS TerminologyĮVS creates, compiles, and cross-maps biomedical terminology needed by NCI and its community. The EVS Downloads web page offers downloads of EVS terminology content and tools. The EVS Wiki provides extensive details on these and other EVS resources, tools and services. EVS provides the foundational layer for NCI's informatics infrastructure, and plays an important role in federal and international standards efforts (see EVS Use and Collaborations).
