Move away from the proprietary Lexigram API and use the UMLS files directly for hypernym disease expansion.

Ideally, we would have different ancestor levels, so that we can control the refinement required (and not every topic is also "disease by site").

khituras commented 5 years ago

Excuse me, what does "disease by site" mean? :-)

michelole commented 5 years ago

Sorry, it should be disorder by body site: it's the parent concept of all diseases, so not specific at all...

michelole commented 5 years ago

This is a "nice-to-have" iff we can control the number of parent ancestors. Otherwise we can live with Lexigram for now.

khituras commented 5 years ago

With the number of ancestores you mean the distance, right?
