Add pediatric attribute to NCIt #7

Open jsstevenson opened 3 years ago

jsstevenson commented 3 years ago

“Childhood disorder” (NCIT:C89328) is the superclass for all pediatric illnesses. In many cases, NCIt constructs individual disease classes as anonymous intersections of parent classes, meaning that our rdfs:subClassOf SPARQL query can't get to any children of "childhood neoplasm" (NCIT:C6283), which is obviously the superclass that we're most interested in. We need a differently-structured SPARQL query or another way of highlighting these (possibly a manually-curated whitelist, even).
