....tool based on CONCORDIA to create an environment for studying the problems of local divergence. The Problem of Local Updates Tuttle and colleagues wrote about the local update problem in an early paper entitled Adding your terms and relationships to the UMLS Metathesaurus [4]. They described what they called the local dilemma, pointing out the problems that a developer would face if he enhanced the Metathesaurus locally. The authors recognized that local enhancements would increase the burden of maintenance when new versions of the Metathesaurus were released, and ....

....Thus, classification of change operations identified by ICD 9CM maintainers was not what was needed, the change documentation gave inadequate explanations, and change files were difficult to process. Tuttle and Nelson, who are also quite familiar with the challenges of updating terminologies [4, 8], offered comments on the approach [9] They bemoaned the need to resort to a line by line comparison of ASCII text files, using a program such as diff. They voiced a hope that in the future, terminology maintainers will be more explicit about changes and will provide computer processable change ....

....of specialized views, such as network abstraction schemas, is of more than theoretical interest. The maintenance of a CMT like the MED at CPMC is a complex and difficult task. The challenges faced by maintenance personnel include updating the CMT (e.g. 31] adding terms and relationships [32], and in general developing a change model for CMTs [33] Furthermore, proper maintenance should include improving a CMT s organization, and uncovering and correcting inconsistencies and errors in its content. All of these require an understanding of the CMT s underlying structure. However, ....

....is overwhelming for human comprehension capabilities. It is difficult to maintain and use the UMLS without proper comprehension. Designers, maintainers and users of the UMLS need tools to help with their work. Although there are tools for retrieval and manipulation of the content of the UMLS [7, 8, 9, 10], such tools are insufficient. Rather, tools should also support professionals in reaching a level of comprehension essential to performing their tasks. In previous work [11, 12] we have developed a methodology for representing Controlled Medical Terminologies (CMTs) 13, 14] as Object Oriented ....

....the evolution of a terminology. The first problem that must be overcome, to make evolutionary design realistic, is the local update penalty. The Local Update Penalty Tuttle and colleagues described a paradoxical penalty when reconciling local enhancements the UMLS Metathesaurus with new releases [12]. The penalty is paradoxical because users who make the largest effort to incorporate a version of the UMLS into their software (and undoubtedly make significant local enhancements to make the UMLS function in their local environment) must also make the largest effort to reconcile their local ....
