Reconstructing a pedigree file - half-sibling ambiguity

[illusional]

I'm looking at reconstructing a pedigree from a set of relationships, but there's ambiguity in a half-sibling relationship. I think I would need something like:

• isMaternalHalfSiblingOf and,
• isPaternalHalfSiblingOf.

What's the difference between a fullSibling and halfSibling?

Summary of existing sibling relationships:

• isBiologicalSiblingOf
• isFullsiblingOf
• isHalfSiblingOf
• isParentalSiblingOf
• isSiblingFigureOf
• isStepSiblingOf
• hasParentalSibling

Hi @illusional, We have added maternal/paternal labels to the following terms:

• isHalfSiblingOf
• isParentalSiblingOf
• isStepSiblingOf
• hasParentalSibling

The updated .owl has been added to src\main\resources.

What's the difference between a fullSibling and halfSibling?

Full siblings share the same parents. Half siblings only share DNA from one parent. Step siblings share no DNA (social relationship, rather than biological).

Hi @lindsmith, this is amazing, thank you! I can see the new:

• isPaternalHalfSiblingOf
• isMaternalHalfSiblingOf
• isPaternalStepSiblingOf
• isMaternalStepSiblingOf

But can't see the maternal / paternal equivalents of:

• isStepSiblingOf
• hasParentalSibling

Hi @illusional - The isStepSiblingOf maternal/paternal equivalents are at the end of the property list (not right beside isStepSiblingOf)

• isMaternalStepSiblingOf - # Object Property: KIN_056
• isPaternalStepSiblingOf - # Object Property: KIN_057

For hasParentalSibling, new classes have been added :	ID	Label	Expression
KIN_988	PaternalAunt	= Woman and (hasParentalSibling some (isBiologicalFatherOf some Person))
KIN_987	MaternalAunt	= Woman and (hasParentalSibling some (isBiologicalMotherOf some Person))
KIN_986	PaternalUncle	= Man and (hasParentalSibling some (isBiologicalFatherOf some Person))
KIN_985	MaternalUncle	= Man and (hasParentalSibling some (isBiologicalMotherOf some Person))

I hope this helps!
