Issue 5556: Specifying a FactorValue needs to be more flexible (gene-expression-ftf)
Source: Rosetta Biosoftware Business Unit (Mr. Michael D Miller, nobody)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Request, made at MGED IV, to modify the model:
* add association from FactorValue to OntologyEntry named "Value"
    FactorValue end:
    - aggregates OntologyEntry end
    - cardinality: 1..1
    OntologyEntry end:
    - name: value
    - cardinality: 0..1
    - navigable
* make cardinality of association from FactorValue to Measurement
  become 0..1
* add a rule that FactorValue has *either* a Measurement *or* a
OntologyEntry
  (exclusive)
  

Resolution: see below
Revised Text: Changes to the Specification:

Section 2.1.13, Experiment

Specification of the associations for FactorValue is updated.

Currently:

\bmeasurement\b : Measurement (1..1)

The measured value for this factor.

Becomes:

\bmeasurement\b : Measurement (0..1)

The measured value for this factor.

\bvalue\b : OntologyEntry (0..1)

Allows a more complex value to be specified for a FactorValue than a simple Measurement.

(where \b...\b indicates boldface)
 
 
  MAGE-OM and the generated MAGE.xmi are updated, adding the Value association and the rule
 
 
  MAGE-ML.dtd

Element and Attlist declarations for FactorValue is updated

Currently:

measurement: The measured value for this factor.

Becomes:

measurement: The measured value for this factor.

value: Allows a more complex value to be specified for a FactorValue than a simple Measurement.

Currently:

<!ELEMENT FactorValue ((%Identifiable_content;),

Measurement_assn) >

Becomes:

<!ELEMENT FactorValue ((%Identifiable_content;),

(Measurement_assn? | Value_assn?)) >

Discussion: 
Request, made at MGED IV, to modify the model. Not all FactorValues are strict measurements. By adding the 

OntologyEntry association named Value, it will allow more robust specification of the value for the experiment factor. A rule should be added to the model that either Value or Measurement can be used, but not both.

Hi Juergen,


Here's the last batch.  Officially, I guess I'm entering them but
these are
collated from the MGED efforts for which there is no clear consensus
yet.


thanks, as always,
Michael
