add measures/measurement of to the predicate hierarchy #792

Open sierra-moxon opened 3 years ago

sierra-moxon commented 3 years ago

From Richard: predicate stating that “A ‘measures’ B”? Measurement of (maybe inverses) Superb cardiovascular imaging (diagnostic procedure) measures weight (of the heart?) lots of ontology terms mapped to weight (maybe even information content entity) Object Qualifier = actual amount Might be a few properties that work together to qualify the edge. Speckle tracking echocardiography (diagnostic procedure) measures glucos…. (organic chemical) (no units) Eye tracking (diagnostic procedure) measures variation genetics. Neurological diseases manifest in eye tracking phenotypes. Eye movement detects skull thickness near the inner ear.

Would involve refactoring quantifier qualifier association slot to a predicate.

Talked about this in the helpdesk; there are ontological efforts underway to describe measurement types (OBI, MMO) and units.

For modeling the actual values of a 'measurement', do we need to also handle baseline comparisons? Do we need to worry about errors/standard deviations etc.? Do we need a biolink model representation of the unit ontology?

Will the measurement value, unites, error, baseline need to be combined into a class or predicate?
