The CCDB dictionary provides definitions for
terms and concepts used in the CCDB. Where possible, the CCDB maps
these concepts to unique identifiers contained in the Unified Medical
Language System (UMLS)
or other appropriate ontologies. Identifiers beginning with "BF" refer
to the Bonfire, a collection of knowledge sources developed and maintained
by the Biomedical
Informatics Research Network (BIRN) project. More information
about Bonfire IDs can be found
here.
