clarify terminology #130

Closed fmatthies closed 1 year ago

fmatthies commented 1 year ago

Right now we have a conceptual clash for the term "Concept" which introduced at least hardships for understanding. We used "Concept" when dealing with the output of the clustering approach that groups related "Phrases" but we also use "Concept" (and further "Single Concept" & "Composite Concept") when differentiating from "Phenotype" in the frontend/backend/query parts.

Would it be even more clean if then "Concept" are also in subsumed in a "concepts" array property under "Category"?

ChristophB commented 1 year ago

This would mean that categories can be used in concept repositories. Is this reasonable? My impression is that single concepts already provide the functionality of grouping concepts. Thus, it is not entirely clear, when to use categories/ single concepts.
