NAME

getCuiList.pl - This program returns a list of CUIs based on the configuration file.

SYNOPSIS

This program returns a list of CUIs based on the sources and relations specified in the configuration file.

USAGE

Usage: getCuiList.pl [OPTIONS] CONFIGFILE

INPUT

CONFIGFILE

This is the configuration file. The format of the configuration file is as follows:

SAB :: <include|exclude> <source1, source2, ... sourceN>
REL :: <include|exclude> <relation1, relation2, ... relationN>
RELA :: <include|exclude> <rela1, rela2, .... relaN> (optional)

For example, if we wanted to use the MSH vocabulary with only the RB/RN relations, the configuration file would be:

SAB :: include MSH
REL :: include RB, RN
RELA :: include inverse_isa, isa

or

SAB :: include MSH
REL :: exclude PAR, CHD

If you go to the configuration file directory, there will be example configuration files for the different runs that you have performed.

OUTPUT

List of CUIs that are associated with the input term

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:

--children

Returns the number of children of a given CUI. The format for just using --children is:

CUI children

--parents

Returns the number of children of a given CUI. The format for just using --parents is:

CUI parents

The format for using both --parents and --children is:

CUI children|parents

--relations REL

Returns the number of relations of a given CUI. The REL input can be a list of comma seperated relations. For example:

--relation "SIB,RO"

This would return the number of SIB and RO relations for a given concept in the format : CUI sib|ro

This option current can not be used with the --children and --parent option because if you want them just add them to the list. For example: --relation "SIB,PAR,CHD"

--term

Returns the terms associated with the CUI in the following format:

CUI term1|term2|term3|...

If used with the --parents and/or --children options or the --relation options, the following format is returned:

Remember children and parents is a number!
