A Sample Dictionary Definitions

This section describes sample or practice dictionary definitions in Oracle Thesaurus Management System (TMS) that correspond to the sample load scripts you can download from My Oracle Support from Sample Maintenance Scripts for MedDRA, MedDRA Primary Path, MedDRA SMQ, WHO-Drug, and SNOMED (article ID 258975.1) and TMS CLASS Dictionary Loading Scripts (article ID 428204.1); see "Searching by Article ID".

Note:

The short names of the dictionary levels and of the dictionary itself must be exactly the same in the load script and in the dictionary definition in the TMS user interface.

Practice Dictionary CLS

The dictionary definition and loading process is complex, and varies depending on the dictionary and the needs of the company. You can use CLS as a practice dictionary. All the control, data, and SQL files you need are provided in a zip file on the My Oracle Support Web site. You can use these files as examples when you create your own dictionaries.

CLS Structure Diagram

The CLS structure diagram in Figure A-1 corresponds to the Level Definitions in "CLS Level Definitions" and Level Relations Definitions in "CLS Level Relations Definitions".

Sample Drug Dictionary

This section provides a structural diagram of the sample drug dictionary, and the dictionary level and Level Relations Definitions that are required to create a dictionary with this structure.

This dictionary is the same as CLS except that no Primary Link is defined between the ATC Group level and the Preferred Name level, and therefore you cannot derive terms from any of the sublevels within the ATC Group.

The sample drug dictionary structure in Figure A-5 corresponds to the definitions provided in "Sample Drug Dictionary Level Definitions" and "Sample Drug Dictionary Level Relations Definitions".
