Define set of "exposure relationships" necessary for OMOP Vocabularies

[kzollove]

The exposure_occurrence table has a field "exposure_relationship_concept_id"

Some of examples, that are necessary for our symposium use case, are SDoH and pollutants/environmental exposure.

I'm not sure how big of an ask this is, or even how crucial it is for symposium, but we should discuss at next meeting

• See type_concept_id in athena and follow these conventions
• list some real sources for GIS data

I don't know that @p-talapova and you are on the same page here. This is what Paulina writes about exposure_type_concept_id:

Identifies the origin of the exposure record (e.g. Census, EHR, Environmental data, Geospatial data, Satellite imagery, GIS mapping, Sensor network, Mobile device geolocation, LiDAR)

The scope of the "type" here is consistent with the use of [domain]_type_concept_id throughout the CDM. It refers to different types of records by way of which we learn of the occurrence. This is not a typology of exposure_occurrences.

There is yet another "type" that @kzollove seems to be meaning when he talks about SDoHs and environmental exposures. I am thinking that this "type" goes to a typology and may be akin to types of "exposure stressors" in EXO/ECTO less the "exposure transport path" and "source":

"Source" here refers to where an "agent" came from like a commercial product, a residence, a medical product, the physical environment outside a residence and so forth.

"Exposure transport path" is something that I think Paulina initially included in the exposure_occurrence but we may have dropped. In EXO/ECTO this refers to soil, air and water which does not account for the path of "psychosocial agents". Maybe we can revisit this decision after the symposium.

Hi @jaygee-on-github, @p-talapova

I updated the title/description of this issue to reflect my intended meaning. Thanks for your input in the past.
