LexEVS is a set of software and services to load, publish, and access vocabulary and ontology resources.
  EVS has supported and migrated to LexEVS, developed by the Mayo Clinic, as an open source tool that is freely sharable and that is now being deployed at a number of other partner organizations such as MD Anderson, Stanford, Emory, Ohio State University Medical Center, Georgetown University, Washington University, and National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI)/UK CancerGrid, as well as by commercial vendors such as IBM and GE Healthcare.

EVS editing software has been based on Stanford's open source Protégé tool, widely used for editing biomedical terminology and ontologies.
