ICO Clinical Evaluation: Proposed New Terms

[lizumberfield]

Also during evaluation of ICO using clinical consent forms and the regulatory literature, I identified the following gaps in ICO and OBO Foundry ontologies. I have proposed 3 new terms with preferred labels and tentative definitions with citations. I recommend community deliberation on which ontology is the best fit for each term (may be ICO, may be another OBO Foundry Ontology) as well as parent hierarchy. Planning to discuss with @cstoeckert and the OBIB community during our next call on 10/15/2020.

• Graphic Illustration: (perhaps a child/grandchild of 'Information Content Entity', not sure about relation to 'figure') “Works consisting of photographs, prints, drawings, portraits, plates, diagrams, facsimiles, maps, tables, or other representations or systematic arrangements of data designed to elucidate or decorate the contents of a publication” (definition from MeSH Code: D019489).
