[New metadata element]: `curation_rule`

[matentzn]

Element id (e.g. creator_id, mapping_tool_version): (Must be lower case and contain only letters and underscores.)

curation_rule

Value data type (e.g. URI, URL, text, xsd:boolean):

EntityReference (URI/CURIE)

Description

See #150 for wider context.

A curation rule is a (potentially) complex condition executed by a human curator that led to the establishment of a mapping. Curation rules often involve complex domain-specific considerations, which are hard to capture in an automated fashion.

Constraints

• Should only be recorded in conjunction with mapping_justification: HumanCurated.
• Should be recorded with a term from a controlled vocabulary

Has this element been implemented? Will it be available in 1.0?

[matentzn]

Unfortunately this was not planned for 1.0, but 1.1. Can you outline why you would need it more quickly? What use case are you thinking of using it for?

[saubin78]

Hi! No hurry. We'll discuss this point next week around D2KAB project's use cases and come back to you with further elements. We'll see in particular if values from a controlled vocabulary would fit, not quite sure...

[matentzn]

We have been curating some examples for these, but I don't think the vocabulary should be standardised - there is a wide space of curation rules, and many can get very specific for any given ontology. Here we are discussing some very concrete examples: https://github.com/mapping-commons/disease-mappings/issues/16
