Notes
Decision
1
Time aspect specification in description AND modelling
All
Concept is primitive if the description is more specific than the modelling. Concept logical definition must not be more specific than concept description
Must be stated consistently in description AND modelling in accordance with SI editorial policy
2
Inheres_in is superfluous in blood science lab result reporting
All
Inheres_in effectively duplicates direct_site. They are two different perspectives (lab and clinical) of the same target
Direct_site attribute sufficiently captures specimen and derivable substance
