> if I need to get term name do I have to do a lookup on umls ? FYI: I was proposing adding an additional attribute to store the description/preferredText(term) [1] since this information is already available in the dictionary lookup. I think most folks would find this useful in additional to just saving the CUI/Code. Otherwise, they would have to do another lookup further downstream to get the description of the CUI/Code.
