User-friendly extensions to MeSH v1.0

The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) is a controled vocabulary produced by the NLM for cataloging biomedical information. The resource is structured as an ontology and is used for PubMed/MEDLINE annotation. Here we provide user-friendly datasets derived from MeSH. Currently, two record types are processed: Descriptors and Supplementary Concept Records. The datasets are built from the 2015 MeSH release retrieved on 2015-05-09 for Descriptors and 2015-05-25 for SCRs.
