Using a Manifest to Change Vocabulary MetaData
LexEVS manages vocabulary meta data updates during load time or post load using optional manifest loads.
What is a Coding Scheme Manifest?
A "Coding Scheme Manifest" (or manifest) allows the user to set meta data values for a coding scheme. This can be done while loading or converting a LexGrid "XML", "NCI MetaThesaurus", "NCI OWL","OWL", "OBO", "UMLS RRF File", or"HL7 RIM Database" source to LexGrid format or post load.
What is Coding Scheme?
Coding Scheme is the term that is used to represent an ontology/terminology being loaded or converted. In the LexGrid data model a terminology is represented as a coding scheme and it can reference other coding schemes. An example of coding scheme is "Amino Acid" which is described in the "amino acid.owl" file.
A Coding Scheme has some meta information about it; values like 'formal name', 'local names', 'default language', 'version', 'copyright', 'sources' to name some.
Why Do We Need a Coding Scheme Manifest?
When a terminology is being converted to the LexGrid data model from its native format (in this case OWL), Coding Scheme information is read from the source file. Sometimes values may be missing (not provided or invalid) or the author/user of the terminology wants to override or set default values despite (or in addition to) what is provided in the source file. This can be accomplished using "manifest" files along with the source file.
How Do We Create a Coding Scheme Manifest file?
A coding scheme manifest file is a valid XML file, conforming to the schema defined by http://LexGrid.org/schema/LexBIG/2007/01/CodingSchemeManifestList.xsd

id
- Coding Scheme Manifest entry field: id
- Type: lgCommon:registeredName
- Required: Yes
- Override flag set: Not applicable
- Description: The registered name is the key used to find a coding scheme (for example a unique URL or namespace by which other people access same coding scheme). This String value will be used to identify the manifest entry in the manifest file for the coding scheme too. For example the registered name for coding scheme "Amino-acid" is http://130.88.198.11/co-ode-files/ontologies/amino-acid.owl
. This string is also set as the coding scheme's registered name field in the LexGrid model.Multiexcerpt include MultiExcerptName ExitDisclaimer nopanel true PageWithExcerpt wikicontent:Exit Disclaimer to Include

This option is used internally by the system to provide default recognition of some common associations. It is typically not necessary to provide this value, however, since association definitions are automatically derived from the source. |
What Code Changes May Be Required to Use a Manifest File?
If you want to use the manifest file, you can supply the manifest file URI to the following methods when Loading NCI OWL or generic OWL Loads:

Dealing with Large Terminologies
Loading Large RRF Terminologies (Examples: (NCI Metathesaurus, SNOMEDCT, LOINC, etc):
- Primary Key Strategy - see (DB_PRIMARY_KEY_STRATEGY Config Setting)
- Sequential Integer Primary Key (SEQUENTIAL_INTEGER) is the best strategy for large loads. This allows the database to insert records into the index in a sequential manner, which is more efficient. If GUID strategy is used, records will be inserted into the index tree at random locations, resulting in index re-balancing after every insert.
- Hardware is very important to large content loads.
- RRF Loads are loaded in a multi-threaded manner. Multi-processor servers will give the best performance.
- If possible, seperate the database server and the loader server.
- Monitoring a load
- Monitor all LexEVS logs (both 'load' and 'full' log).
- If using MySQL, use INNODB tools to monitor Inserts per second. (SHOW INNODB STATUS)

Load Time Preferences
Preferences for loading elements of sources such as OWL can be done at load time.
General Meta Data File Association Preferences
This value can be adjusted by creating an XML file that resolves against this schema: http://LexGrid.org/schema/LexBIG/2009/01/Preferences/load/LoadPreferences
Multiexcerpt include | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
XMLMetadataFilePath
Any xml document can be assigned as metadata to a newly loaded coding scheme. The xml document is broken down into individual tags and values, which are then searchable through the LexBIG Service Metadata interface. This parameter indicates the path of xml metadata assigned during the current load operation. For most loaders, the given path serves strictly as an option to input user-specified data. For The NCI Metathesaurus loader, metadata is automatically generated and assigned to the coding scheme. In these cases, the generated xml will be output to the given file, overwriting any existing content.
Owl Loader Preferences
These values can be adjusted by creating an XML file that resolves against this schema: http://LexGrid.org/schema/LexBIG/2009/01/Preferences/load/OWLLoadPreferences
Multiexcerpt include | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
PropnamePrimitive
Entities can be assigned a property that indicates whether or not it is considered primitive (having no equivalent classes). This preference controls
the name of the property that is created; the property value will indicate true or false. If not specified, the name 'primitive' is assumed.
PropnameType
Anonymous OWL classes of type OWLNAryLogicalClass can be assigned properties that indicate the nature or type of component logical operations.
This preference controls the name of the property that is created; the property value will indicate the logical operation (e.g. owl:oneOf). If not
specified, the name 'type' is assumed.
MatchConceptCode
This preference allows for entity codes to be derived from a specific RDF property. The provided string is interpreted as a regular expression to be
compared against properties assigned to each processed class. If a property name matches the regular expression, the property value is assigned as the entity code. If not specified no default match is assumed, and the entity code is derived from the RDF resource name.
MatchConceptStatus
This preference allows for entity status to be derived from a specific RDF property. The provided string is interpreted as a regular expression to be
compared against properties assigned to each processed class. If a property name matches the regular expression, the property value is assigned as the entity status. If not specified, the regular expression of ('concept_status') is assumed, and if not matched no status string is assigned (the isActive boolean flag will still be set based on deprecation).
MatchNoopNamespaces
This preference allows for classes to be selectively ignored on import to LexGrid. The provided string is interpreted as a regular expression to be compared against class namespace. If matched, a counterpart entity is not created in the LexGrid coding scheme. If not provided, the expression
No Format |
---|
'(:|@_:|protege:|xsp:).*' |
is assumed.
MatchRootName
This preference allows for custom declaration of root concepts for hierarchical relationships. The provided string is interpreted as a regular expression to be compared against the resource name for each class. If matched, the node is designated as a root in the supported hierarchy metadata. If not specified, root nodes are identified by having a superclass of owl:thing.
MatchXMLRepformNames
If processing of complex properties is enabled (see ProcessComplexProps preference), this preference allows for identification of representational form
names contained by XML fragments embedded within rdf property text. The provided string is interpreted as a regular expression and compared
against the XML tags in each fragment. If not specified, the default expression '(term-group)' is assumed.
MatchXMLSourceNames
If processing of complex properties is enabled (see ProcessComplexProps preference), this preference allows for identification of source names contained
by XML fragments embedded within rdf property text. The provided string is interpreted as a regular expression and compared against the XML tags in
each fragment. If not specified, the default expression '(term-source|def-source)' is assumed.
MatchXMLTextNames
If processing of complex properties is enabled (see ProcessComplexProps preference), this preference allows for identification of descriptive text contained by XML fragments embedded within rdf property text. The provided string is interpreted as a regular expression and compared against the XML tags in each fragment. If not specified, the default expression '(term-name|def-definition|go-term)' is assumed.
IsDBXrefSource
If processing of complex properties is enabled (see ProcessComplexProps preference) and source, this preference allows for identification of ISBN cross
reference information in xml element text. If not specified, the default of 'false' is assumed.
IsDBXrefRepform
If processing of complex properties is enabled (see ProcessComplexProps preference) and source, this preference allows for identification of representational form cross reference information in xml element text. If not specified, the default of 'false' is assumed.
ProcessComplexProps
Indicates whether rdf property text will be evaluated to detect and process embedded XML. This is a master switch controlling whether the MatchXML*
and isDBXRef* preferences are acknowledged. The default is false.
StrictOWLImplementation
Controls the relationship between restrictions of anonymous classes and parent concepts. If true, restrictions for anonymous classes are not connected to the parent concepts. The default is true.
CreateConceptForObjectProp
Controls whether concept entities are created for object properties defined in the OWL source. The default is false.
DatatypePropSwitch
Controls how data type properties are converted to components of the LexGrid model. If 'association' is specified, each data type property is recorded in LexGrid as an entity-to-entity relationship. If 'conceptProperty' is specified, traditional LexGrid properties are created and assigned directly to new entities . If 'both' is specified, both entity relationships and standard LexGrid entity properties are generated. The default is 'both'.
PrioritizedCommentNames
Indicates a list of rdf property names to be attributed special semantic significance as comments in the LexGrid model. If not specified, the default
if 'DesignNote, Editor_Note, Citation, and VA_Workflow_Comment' is assumed. If not matched, only generic properties are created.
PrioritizedDefinitionNames
Indicates a list of rdf property names to be attributed special semantic significance as definitions in the LexGrid model. If not specified, the default
of 'DEFINITION", dDEFINITION, LONG_DEFINITION, ALT_DEFINITION, ALT_LONG_DEFINITION, and MeSH_Definition' is assumed.
PrioritizedPresentationNames
Indicates a list of rdf property names to be attributed special semantic significance as definitions in the LexGrid model. If not specified, the default
of 'NCI_Preferred_Term, Preferred_Name, Display_Name, Search_Name, FULL_SYN, Synonym, VA_Print_Name, VA_National_Formulary_Name, VA_Abbreviation, VA_Dose_Form_Print_Name, VA_Trade_Name, MeSH_Name, NDFRT_Name, RxNorm_Name' is assumed.

SemNetLoaderPreferences
The load parameter controls which inherited relationships are loaded and navigable within LexBIG. When selecting the option not to load inherited relationships, all associations are extracted from the source file SRSTR (stated relations). When loading all inherited relations, associations are extracted from the source file SRSTRE1 (classified relations).
...
- value="0" Only load direct or stated relationships.
- value="1" Load all inherited relationships.
- value="2" Load all inherited relationships except is_a.

Change Type Definitions
There are 5 changeType definitions. Each change type needs to be applied in it's own context as follows:
- NEW - to create a new versionable element
- MODIFY - to change the attributes of an existing versionable element
- VERSIONABLE - Versionable attribute has changed since prior version. Versionable attributes include: isActive, status, owner, effectiveDate or expirationDate.
- DEPENDENT - The status of a dependent entry has changed since the last version. Dependent entities include properties, codedEntries for codingSchemes, associationInstances, etc.
- REMOVE - Versionable entry was removed as of this version. This is not the same as deprecated, as the entity ceases to exist in future versions.
Revision Resources
Revisions in LexGrid are discussed in more detail here:
Post Processing Options
Post load processing algorithms allow users to access information about the source that may only be available post load and apply to coding scheme meta-data.
Post Processor Extensions Overview
Ontology Format Adding Post Processor
This post processor adds a property to the coding scheme indicating it's source format. This formatting note is detected by the LexEVS RDF exporter which tailors LexGrid to RDF mapping based on the original format of source of the loaded coding scheme.
Approximate Number Of Concepts Post Processor
This post processor tracks concept numbers in the coding scheme and applies them to the approxNumOfConcepts attribute of the CodingScheme.
Supported Attribute Post Processor
Determines and loads supported attributes for the following:
- Supported Coding Scheme for the loaded coding scheme
- Supported Formats
- Supported Languages
- Supported EntityTypes
- Supported Properties
- Supported Associations
Post Processor Example Code

AbsoluteCodingSchemeVersionReference ref = new AbsoluteCodingSchemeVersionReference(); ref.setCodingSchemeURN("urn:oid:11.00.11.1"); ref.setCodingSchemeVersion("1.0"); LexBIGService lbs = lb_gui_.getLbs(); try { LoaderPostProcessor postProcessor = lbs.getServiceManager(null).getExtensionRegistry(). getGenericExtension("SupportedAttributePostProcessor", LoaderPostProcessor.class); LoaderPostProcessRunner loaderPostProcessRunner = new LoaderPostProcessRunner(postProcessor); loaderPostProcessRunner.runProcess(ref, null)); |
Post Processor Post Load Application in lbGUI
Run Post Processor from the GUI
Coding Scheme Supplements
Supplements to a given coding scheme can be loaded as full coding schemes. Vocabularies can be augmented in LexEVS using the coding scheme supplement API. This effectively unions one code set with another in LexEVS.
Supplement Loading Scenario
In one possible scenario a user could add entities to an existing coding scheme by creating a new coding scheme in LexGrid XML format and load the new scheme as a supplement to the existing scheme.

Extension Loading Scenario
Users interested in this functionality might try the following to see it in action:
...
Keep in mind that the testExtension.xml's file format can be used to extend any coding scheme currently loaded to LexEVS.
Authoring Coding Schemes and their Child Elements
A complete authoring API is featured in the CTS2 interface and is Detailed here
Create a Mapping Scheme using LexGrid XML
Mapping functions in LexEVS 6.: Inter-terminology relationship support, authoring and loading
What's Available in LexEVS 6.0:
- Automatic support for mapped values in sources that incorporate mapping
- Authoring capability for creating and updating mappings
- Loading support for mapping standard sources including MRMAP RRF files and LexGrid XML files.
Authoring Capability in LexEVS:
- Authoring API's in LexEVS 6.0
- CTS2 Association Creation and Update
- LexEVSAuthoringService for mappings and associations.
- Authoring a Mapping Coding Scheme in 6.0
- Create a mapping scheme in LexGrid XML
Create a LexGrid Mapping Scheme:
- Requirements:
- Address of the latest LexGrid model xsd: http://LexGrid.org/schema/2010/01/LexGrid/codingSchemes.xsd
Multiexcerpt include MultiExcerptName ExitDisclaimer nopanel true PageWithExcerpt wikicontent:Exit Disclaimer to Include - An XML editor like oXygen.
- Address of the latest LexGrid model xsd: http://LexGrid.org/schema/2010/01/LexGrid/codingSchemes.xsd
Creating the Coding Scheme
- Open the XML editor and start a new document.
- Configure the editor to point to the desired root node: http://LexGrid.org/schema/2010/01/LexGrid/codingSchemes
- The editor may generate the root node, required attributes and any required children
Coding Scheme Elements
- We must populate these attributes:
- CodingSchemeName
- URI
Supported Elements (mappings)
- Under the <mappings> tag
- Create references to the elements this mapping scheme will support
- Create a supported association
- Create an appropriate name such as "mapped_to" or "approximately_mapped_to"
- Create Supported coding schemes
- One for this scheme
- One for the source scheme
- One for the target scheme
- Populate the local Id and the uri with correct values
- Create a supported container name for this coding scheme
- should be distinctive if there is more than one mapping (and therefore more than one relations container) in the coding scheme
- for this implementation it will just be "relations"
- Create supported namespaces
- Again One for this scheme
- One for the source scheme
- One for the target scheme
- Populate the local id and the equivalent coding scheme attributes.
- Equivalent coding scheme points to the coding scheme local id this namespace must represent.
Create a Container for the Mappings
- Create a relations element
- Populate the container name, the isMapping attribute, and source and target coding schemes.
- Create (your XML editor should insist on it) an AssociationPredicate as a child element.
- Populate the associationName attribute with the local Id of the supported association you created.
Create an Association Source
- This will be a child element of the Association Predicate.
- Populate the sourceEntityCodeNamespace with the supported namespace local Id of the source coding scheme.
- Populate the sourceEntityCode with the unique identifier (enityCode in LexGrid) of the concept in the source coding scheme.
Create an Association Target
- This will be a child element of the AssociationSource.
- Populate the targetEntityCodeNamespace with the supported namespace local Id of the target coding scheme.
- Populate the targetEntityCode with the unique identifier (enityCode in LexGrid) of the concept in the target coding scheme.
