Bone measurement branch - manual edits #980

Bone measurement branch

Notes from @dosumis Bone - is reasonably complete, but is_about assertions could be made more detailed (e.g. to specific bones). (Note - the grouping class here is defined using OR. The Hermit reasoner is required for accurate classification under it.)

Initial strategy - focus on is_about axioms

  1. Browse bone measurement branch (relatively small) to examine current classification hierarchy and relations used - iron out inconsistencies between children of this branch e.g. most children measurements in this branch are directly relevant to bone size, density, volume except for alkaline phosphatase measurement where SubClass appears to have been assigned based on biomarker relationship i.e. ‘bone measurement’ ‘liver enzyme measurement’ (also ‘protein measurement’) but not ‘blood (or serum) measurement’ whereas the definition is ‘a quantification of alkaline phosphatase in blood. AP is a biomarker of bone and liver disease.'

  2. Review how related terms are modelled in HPO, MP, Uberon, (also CMO, NCIT) using OLS; GO in Protege: What terms are used. What does the classification hierarchy look like?

  3. Increase the depth and breadth of is_about axiom coverage e.g. 'radius bone mineral density' -> add subClassOf is_about uberon:radius

  4. Add EquivalentClass definitions to measurement grouping terms that currently lack them - then search out potential subclasses by string searching
