The UMLS knowledge sources at 30: indispensable to current research and applications in biomedical informatics

This special issue is dedicated to the memory of Donald Allan Bror Lindberg, MD (1933–2019). An informatics pioneer, leader, and longest serving Director of the US National Library of Medicine (NLM), Dr. Lindberg conceived, initiated, and led the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) effort in its formative years and provided sustained support for free dissemination and regular maintenance of the UMLS resources.
