Component body

I am seeking a co-maintainer for this project to help with future development. Please open an issue if you're interested!

The MeSH module allows sites to utilize the large Medical Subject Headings vocabulary provided by the National Library of Medicine. Because this vocabulary is exceptionally large (currently 50k+ terms), special considerations have to be made in order to import and work with this data set.

This module replaces the taxonomy dropdown form on node edit pages with a CTools-based modal browser for easy insertion of terms. In addition, the import process is handled via an upload form, using the tree format of the MeSH database.

Requirements

  1. Chaos Tools Suite module
  2. Taxonomy module
  3. MeSH database in the tree format, not XML (not included)

Todo

  • Test with restricted memory limits (should work at 96M+)
  • Manage updates to MeSH database
  • Abstract taxonomy browser to use for any large vocabulary

Sponsors

The initial work on this module was sponsored by Acquia and the National Institutes of Health.
