The UMLS is large and complex and presents significant challenges in retrieving information in a comprehensive way. Typical users of the UMLSKS (UMLS Knowledge Source Server) run the gamut in terms of knowledge of the UMLS and retrieval needs from the UMLSKS. Even though we as developers of the UMLSKS have always strived to create a truly modular and flexible system, we felt that the available technology until recently was not mature enough to create a loosely coupled, plug-and-play UMLSKS. In the past year we became convinced that web services and portal technology had sufficiently matured to allow us to develop such a system. In this poster, we present the details of the new plug-and-play UMLSKS that has been in development for about a year.
统一医学语言系统（UMLS）规模庞大且复杂，在全面检索信息方面存在重大挑战。UMLS知识源服务器（UMLSKS）的典型用户在UMLS知识以及从UMLSKS检索需求方面各不相同。尽管作为UMLSKS的开发者，我们一直努力创建一个真正模块化且灵活的系统，但我们觉得直到最近可用技术仍不够成熟，无法创建一个松耦合、即插即用的UMLSKS。在过去一年里，我们确信网络服务和门户技术已足够成熟，使我们能够开发这样一个系统。在本海报中，我们展示了已开发约一年的新型即插即用UMLSKS的详细信息。
