Enterprise Vocabulary Service,
a collaborative effort of the
NCI Office of Communications and
the NCI Center for Bioinformatics.
The NCI Thesaurus is an open content
vocabulary that you are free to use with
virtually no restrictions. It is built so that both
humans and computers can interpret it. If you are interested in programming
your systems to use the vocabularies available at the NCI, see the
caCORE pages on the
NCICB Website for a
description of the API and license terms.
