CHMO:000283 - Request revision of text definition #6

Closed lizumberfield closed 4 years ago

lizumberfield commented 4 years ago

CHMO:0002832 'Material Disposal' was recently imported into the Informed Consent Ontology following an evaluation of clinical consent forms and permissions to store/use leftover biospecimens collected during clinical care.

The text definition almost meets our need, but is slightly too specific. Would you consider revising this definition to read as: "A planned process in which materials are removed permanently from a laboratory or repository" This would involve deleting 'for an experiment' (clinical biospecimens can be stored for a range of uses, often unknown at the time of collection but may include research) and adding 'or repository' (consent forms often contain conditions for disposal of biospecimens, but they may be in storage rather than a lab).

Thanks for considering. Elizabeth Umberfield
