Make it possible to note evidence use assumptions when creating a claim #214

Open rkboyce opened 7 years ago

rkboyce commented 7 years ago

In the DIKB, we often use evidence based on certain assumptions. The JBI paper 'computing with evidence Part I' calls these 'evidence use assumptions' (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1532046409000732).

AnnotationPress can support the use of these by the following changes:

1) Add a dropdown list to the claim form (to the left of 'Rejected evidence') called 'Assumes'

2) Place into that dropdown an alphabetized list of subject - predicate - objects from previously created claims.

The list in item 2 should come from the yet to be created NP Assertion tables in the relational database for two reasons: first, because the subject and object terms should be from the standardized version of the terms and second, because the value that gets saved should point to the URI for the NP Assertion. This will enable the evidence base to work with the knowledge base to identify evidence usages that require further review because an assumption does not meet the criteria for belief.
