can you add these terms to OGMS

prognosis  "A hypothesis about the likely course of a disease."  (is
hypothesis in OBI)?

[AG: FYI, 'hypothesis' occurs in some OBI definitions and as a substring of
some term names, but is never defined]

do we want terms like these:

'diagnostic process', perhaps with a child: process of diagnosing (=
has output diagnosis)

clinical protocol , no def. yet sorry
(is_a IAO:0000033 "information artefact about a realizable")
e.g. for taking a blood pressure measurement

do we have 'clinical guideline' (is this a child of clinical protocol)

do we have (do we want) 'family medical history'?

1. hypothesis: see
http://code.google.com/p/information-artifact-ontology/issues/detail?id=70 This 
is
still a controversial issue.

2. OBI currently has "clinical diagnosis" as a process
(http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0600003) definition: a protocol application
during which a series of tests are made of a patient leading to determination of
disease state, or condition.
has_specified_input some organism and has_role some patient role
has_specified_output some diagnosis textual entity

diagnosis textual entity: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0000075

3. Is a clinical guideline a synonym for clinical standard operating procedure
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_operating_procedure)? 

4. I was looking in the file to see if there was something for "history of ..." 
(in
my case I would need history of unconsciousness for example)
I wouldn't restrict to family history (it may be just that specific patient 
that is
subject to losses of consciousness). 
I was wondering if this would fit under predisposition: I suspect that when 
using
"history of X" it implies that due to past events the patient has a disposition 
that
constitutes an increased risk of the organism subsequently developing X. 
Currently there is only predisposition to disease of type X, so maybe we would 
need a
new type of predisposition.
If predisposition is the wrong parent, I think "history of X" should fit under
disposition in any case.
