  • Documentation is important, more so than naming?
  • Alternatives:
    • Keep as is originally proposed
    • Rename into something better (e.g. Relative to Inheres in, Relative to Component)
  • In order to make decision, a set of LOINC terms will be mapped and the alternatives may be seen clearer
• Has realization (attribute)
  
  • Add as new attribute.
• The new "component-like" attribute
  • Create a new attribut "Observable component", see Constituent Blog post
