Comment (by huhickman):

 I have uploaded our SNOMEDCT metadata to babel.. Note that I put this in
 its own metadata table due to the nature of the beast (size and style)
 rather than embed it in the UNMC_TERMS table.

 Several points:
 * The metadata itself is large (7.4 million rows) but browses reasonably
 well.
 * The finding of child concept codes is accomplished via the use of the
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_closure#In_graph_theory
 transitive closure graph] (expressed as a database table)  rather than
 'LIKE' searches. This yields better efficiency at i2b2 runtime (among
 other advantages)

 On babel, look in the UNMC section of metadata - the SNOMEDCT sections are
 labeled as such.

 Next up - publishing the code/files to create the metadata/transitive
 closure table.
