We are pleased to announce the release of BioPortal 3.8. The major new
feature in this release is the regeneration of various automated
mappings:

·         We have regenerated all mappings based on UMLS CUIs. Thus
terms in different UMLS ontologies which share the same CUI are now
mapped to each other.  The mapping created is of type skos:closeMatch.
There are now 3,000,000 of these UMLS CUI mappings in the system. *

·         We have regenerated all mappings based on xrefs (OBO
cross-reference) in OBO ontologies.  A mapping is now generated when a
term in an OBO ontology has an xref to a term in another ontology. The
mapping created is of type skos:relatedMatch. There are 35,000 of
these xref mappings in the system. *

·         We have regenerated all mappings based on terms which have
identical unique identifiers (IRIs).  A mapping is now generated when
term in an ontology has a unique identifier that is identical to the
identifier of a term in another ontology. The mapping created is of
type skos:exactMatch. There are 700,000 of these identical IRI
mappings in the system. *

We also fixed a number of bugs which were causing performance,
stability, and ontology upload problems.

*This item was requested via the User Support mailing list and the
NCBO User Group. Thank you for your comments and suggestions!
