etiological process #77

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Is currently defined as "A process in an organism that leads to a subsequent 
disorder."
However logical restriction reads " inverse ('begins to exist during') some 
disorder"

"begins to exist during" specifically doesn't imply causality but only temporal 
association (though I have expressed worries in the BFO group that it would be 
used for causation) We should either update the textual definition to replace 
"leads" - which I think is not desired for this term - or add an editor note 
that the current logical restriction is too weak and that we are hoping for a 
"causes" relation in an upcoming BFO
