Loading Core Terminologies

The process of loading core terminologies comprises 2 steps:

1. specifiy the terminologies to load by editing a configuration file and
2. initiate the loading by executing a script

Edit cts2_conf.xml

Loading Core Terminologies is done by editing the file cts2_conf.xml, which is located in the directory that was specified as CTS2LE_RESOURCE_ROOT during the installation process. When receiving a CTS2-LE distribution, this file will comprise a reference to any terminology for which the user has obtained a license. The XML-structured file lists the available terminologies under the element vocabularies. A specific vocabulary is defined by a friendly-name and a resourceID, for example the UCUM code system will appear as the following line:

<vocabulary load="false" friendly-name="Unified Code for Units of Measure" resourceID="ucum"/>

The friendly name is a human readable name for a terminology and may be modified by the user if he prefers a different designation. However, the attribute resourceID must not be changed as it is a system intern identifier for the terminology. To load a vocabulary, the attribute load has to be set to true.

Running the loading script

Navigate to the bin-directory located in CTS2LE_RESOURCE_ROOT and execute the script WebCts2LEStarter.sh by running

./WebCts2LEStarter.sh
