more specific attributes for weights, scores and counts
@Sierra Moxon (SRI) (or anyone else with knowledge on the topic) quick question... i have a few data elements in need of a better attribute type. i have been using "biolink:has_numeric_value" or "biolink:has_count" in a number of cases which seem too broad. i searched around in the model for types that arent so broad that may be applicable here but couldn't really find anything better. I am wondering if there are better biolink model attribute type definitions that you know of for these types of values: score - a floating point ranking score (currently using biolink:has_numeric_value) omnicorp_article_count - an integer count of pubmed articles (currently using biolink:has_count) weight - a floating point ranking weight (currently using biolink:has_numeric_value) thanks in advance!

Pertinent Slack conversation in response to this issue:
Chris Bizon (SRI, Ranking Agent) This is loose, but basically we take the number of publications (the omnicorp_article_count) and push it through a somewhat arbitrary function that is monotonic but asymptotes as the article count goes very high.
Chris Bizon (SRI, Ranking Agent) Then those weights are treated as inverse resistances in a resistor network and the overall graph resistance is calculated to give the numerical score. So it's just a number that is non-negative, higher is better, but somewhat arbitrarily scaled.
maybe these are covered by one of the supporting_data_properties in the PR here: https://github.com/biolink/biolink-model/pull/909 @mbrush @PhillipsOwen
