  1. OMG Issue

GENE — Instances of OntologyEntries need a way to be further qualified

  • Key: GENE-22
  • Legacy Issue Number: 5557
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Rosetta Biosoftware Business Unit ( Michael Miller)
  • Summary:

    Some ontologies, such as GeneOntology, don't have this concept but others,
    such as MGED's, do.

    Request from a number of sources to modify the model:

    • add a new class named "Slot" to the Description package with the
      following:
    • attribute: "name" of type String, required
    • parent base class: Extendable
    • association to Measurement named "Measurement"
      Slot end:
    • aggregates Measurement end
    • cardinality: 1..1
      Measurement End:
    • name: "measurement"
    • cardinality: 0..1
    • navigable
    • association to OntologyEntry named "SlotValue"
      Slot end:
    • aggregates OntologyEntry end
    • cardinality: 1..1
      OntologyEntry end:
    • name: slotValue
    • cardinality: 0..1
    • navigable
    • add rule that Slot has either measurement or ontologyEntry, exclusive
    • OntologyEntry has association to Slot named "Slots"
      OntologyEntry end:
    • aggregates Slot end
    • cardinality: 1..1
      Slot end:
    • name: slots
    • cardinality: 0..N
    • navigable

    An simpler alternative would be an association from OntologyEntry to
    itself named "Associations":
    1st OntologyEntry end:

    • aggregates 2nd OntologyEntry end
    • cardinality: 1..1
      2nd OntologyEntry end:
    • name: associations
    • cardinality: 0..N
    • navigable
