The most direct mapping method used was to utilise the link provided by the UMLS between the two terminologies.
Differential methylation analysis aims to determine methylation differences between the specific groups (such as cases and controls), such as probe-wise or locus-specific methylation differences; the two terminologies are therefore equivalent when at the individual locus level.
The six terminology classes are integrated into the SCAIView Demo server and can be accessed through http://www.scaiview.com/scaiview-academia.html.html

The idea of our approach is to find the terms in these two terminologies that share a common concept unique identifier (CUI) in UMLS.
The different organisation of these two terminologies makes it is difficult to utilize the structural information.

However, the Ugandan experience did demonstrate the importance of differentiating between these two terminologies (and their roles and responsibility in humanitarian crises) especially in countries implementing SWAP.
