Proposed definition: A cohort is defined as a set of persons who satisfy one or more inclusion criteria for a duration of time. For reference see this.

The currrent hierarchy can be found here and is provided below, along with the definition of 'cohort'. Please comment and/or vote by providing a +1 (in favor), 0 (neutral), -1 (not in favor).
