Using the most specific filler possible (when available) in our patternization effort #814

Open anna-anagnostop opened 2 years ago

Following a review of logical mappings between increased growth rate MP:0002865 and growth increased rate, abnormal ZP:0131161, both EQs are shown to use:

has part some (increased rate and (characteristic of some growth) and (has modifier some abnormal))

It looks like ‘multicellular organism growth’ GO:0035264 would be a more precise filler than ‘growth’ GO:0040007 in this case.

See also, whole organism increased rate growth, abnormal ZP:0020763.

QUESTION: In general, when we refer to biological processes (such as growth) in a multicellular organism should we use always try to use the multicellular organism variants of the processes (if available) or do we just take the more abstract simplified approach?

We need to discuss this from a use case perspective.

Another example of using the most specific filler possible:

Both increased erythroid progenitor cell number MP:0003135 and Erythroid hyperplasia HP:0012132 use erythroid progenitor cell CL:0000038 in their EQs. Should we use erythroid progenitor cell, mammalian CL:0001066 instead?

We can use this ticket to collect additional examples.
