Questions

Open

1. what criterion can we use to determine whether a property should be
   1. an attribute in Assertion
   2. attribute in specialization of Assertion, or
   3. a constrained evaluation?
2. Need to distinguish causativeAgent from dueTo
   1. endogenous vs exogenous axis
   2. material entity vs process axis
3. Need to distinguish /disambiguate course, episodicity, periodicity. Note SCT definition for clinical course is "both the course and onset of a disease."
4. Do we need Interpretation in Assertion?
5. "hasDefinitionalManifestation" looks pretty definitional; belongs in knowledge base, not instance model
6. How does periodOfLife differ from diseasePhase? Is it definitional?
7. diagnosisDate: if the assertion is a diagnosis, this is redundant (whether it's statement date or onset date). If the assertion is not the diagnosis, we need a link, not just a date.
8. ulcer stages: precoord or post?
