UMLS is a key biomedical resource for diseases and other entities. http://mydisease.info/v1/metadata says the last update was April 2020. According to the release history, UMLS is updated twice a year every May and November. We should update UMLS to the latest version, and also have some sort of automated (or semi-automated) way to triggering these updates (or at least notifying a data manager). The relevant parser code is in https://github.com/biothings/mydisease.info/tree/master/src/plugins/umls.
