Hi,
I'm using Maui version 1.2. In the data/models/ directory, the
models_readme mentions that the nlm500 model was built using 500
medical articles and medical subject headings as a vocabulary. Is the
training set (of 500 PubMed documents) available? I wish to build the
model with the latest mesh.rdf as vocabulary (created using HIVE on
the MeSH 2011 xml).

Also, the mesh.rdf file available for download from Maui Project has
some errors (broader and narrower concepts are interchanged for few
concepts w.r.t. to the latest MeSH xml). The prolog script
meshconverter.pl (from http://thesauri.cs.vu.nl/eswc06/) gives errors
for this new xml. Currently, the best way I could find to convert it
to an skos format is by using HIVE (http://code.google.com/p/hive-mrc/
wiki/MeshToSKOS). Please add this link to the wiki pages so that it
will be useful for others too.

Hi Amrita,

Thanks for this information.
I've edited the resources page with a link to HIVE:
http://code.google.com/p/maui-indexer/wiki/Resources

And I also made the PubMed document set available in downloads:
http://code.google.com/p/maui-indexer/downloads/list

Cheers
Alyona
