The 'variant' will fill the 'subject' slot in V-T-D associations - but there are several possibilities for how to model the association object, and association qualifiers. Here, the association object could be:
We will move ahead with Approach 1 above for first pass, unless there are concerns. Feedback welcome, esp. from @cmungall @mellybelly and @pnrobinson.
To Do:
Raising some initial questions and proposals for Dipper modeling of 'predictive' associations between variants and treatment response, as relevant to ingest of cancer variant sources described in Translator #27.
We will likely treat these as ternary relationships between a variant, treatment, and disease (V-T-D). As we have done for G2P associations, we will model using OBAN-style reification of a primary triple, and use 'qualifiers' on the reified association to approximate a ternary relationship.
Consider as an example this claim from the CIViC database, that the BRAF V600E variant correlates with sensitivity to Vemurafenib in cases of colorectal cancer.
The question posed in this ticket concerns the core structure of a V-T-D association (i.e what entities will be in subject, predicate, object, and qualifier slots).
