Definition of disorder in OWL file not same as in OGMS paper

Open alanruttenberg opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

The definition given in the OWL file is: "A material entity which is clinically abnormal and part of an extended organism. Disorders are the physical basis of disease. "

The definition given in the paper is: "A causally relatively isolated combination of physical components that is (a) clinically abnormal and (b) maximal, in the sense that it is not a part of some larger such combination."

Applying the different definitions will result in different conclusions about what would be classified as a disorder. (I can elaborate if desired)

I have not reviewed other definitions in the OWL paper, but I think they should be checked and fixed where they are not the same as the definition source says.

We will discuss during our January call. And also these changes will need to be discussed in the manuscript.

On a related note, may we suggest to add an elucidation annotation providing the definition of "clinically abnormal" as presented in the paper?

Keep in mind that the paper is not the Word of God in regards to how these classes are defined in OGMS, just a start that others have built upon.

I agree that a proper definition of "clinical abnormal" would be useful.
