Athena provides this amazing service of sending a notification to subscribers whenever a vocabulary source, like NDC and RxNorm, have a new release.
My question is: How does Athena itself automatically get those release updates?
Thank you!
Each vocabulary inside Athena is updated individually. Although the process is automated for most of vocabularies, some manual effort still goes into QA and mapping updates.
Build scripts are hosted publicly on github. README in each vocabulary folder usually contains the source.
For example, NDC is downloaded from FDA, and RxNorm from NLM.
That is most helpful, thank you!
