Consider "modifies frequency or severity of condition" instead of "contributes to condition" for RO:0003304

[kshefchek]

Currently RO has the term "contributes to condition" which is a parent of:

• contributes to frequency of disease
• contributes to severity of condition
  • ameliorates condition
  • exacerbates condition

If we are grouping preventative/positive effects under this relation, it may make more sense for the label to reflect this. Consider "modifies condition" or "modifies frequency or severity of condition."

'frequency of condition' doesn't make much sense -- when we talk of frequency we are talking about outbreaks, or something like that

'modifies' is, though, an improvement over 'contributes to'. I suggest

modifies condition modifies severity of condition

• ameliorates condition
• exacerbates condition
