  Info
  title Note
  UMLS Metathesaurus RRF files are a very large fileset. Many users prefer to subset these files using the Metamorphosys tool included with the UMLS Metathesaurus in order to move a single terminology from a central location of these files. When generating source RRF files from the Metathesaurus, the Metamorphosys tool should be set to output versionless source abbreviations rather than versioned source abbreviations. Failing to do so before loading RRF files to LexEVS will cause an incomplete database to be created leaving the association and concept tables empty

• SRDEF.txt (Basic information about the Semantic Types and Relations)
• SRSTR.txt (Structure of the Network)
• SRSTRE1.txt (Fully inherited set of Relations (UIs))
• SRSTRE2.txt (Fully inherited set of Relations (Names))
• SU.txt (Unit Record)
