Disputable non-defined classes under process #59

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
if we look at the subtypes of disease course in OGMS:
acute d. c.
chronic d. c.
progressive d.c.
transient d.c.

None of that has a necessary and sufficient restriction.

I presume that there is a subclass of acute d.c. that is acute flu course.
How do we know that it is not the following:
disease course is superclass to flu disease course is superclass to acute flu 
disease course

instead of

disease course is superclass to acute disease course is superclass to flu acute 
disease course?

This might give rise to some ambiguity and it seems to be contra-intuitively 
from an ontological point of view.
