I have created this term in OBI already, but believe it should be handled in IAO instead. OBI ID is: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/obi.owl#Class_7 Please indicate the label for the new term 'record of missing knowledge' Please provide a textual definition a information content entity created to indicate that information about something is not available to the person recording it. Please add an example of usage for that term A statement in a journal article indicating that the age of a patient at the onset of disease is not known. A statement indicating that the weight of a mouse was not measured. Choosing and the value 'unknown' from a list otherwise containing cell types when curating the antigen presenting cells used in a journal article for the IEDB. Please provide any additional information below. (e.g., proposed position in the IAO hierarchy) Direct child of ICE. I believe such a record of missing knowledge is still 'about' the thing which we are missing information on.

This class could be further broken down to indicate different kinds of lack of knowledge, e.g. inability to determine something vs. no attempt made to determine something vs. no informatino available if it was attempted to determine something.
