Issue 8798: Make it possible to Individual have more attributes                                                                                                                                                     (snp-ftf)

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary:    - moved attributes 'size' and 'count_unit' from Population to Panel
   - made Individual to inherit from Population
   - removed association from Individual to Geographic_location and
     Taxon as they are now inherited from Population
   - removed associations from Molecular_sample to Panel and
     Individual and replaced them with one association to Population
   - Modified the association from Individual to Panel to allow more
     than one Panel
  
   The net result is that Individual can have new attributes
     - race
     - ethnicity
     - primary_language
     - language_family
   and it can be associated to more than one Panel
Resolution: 
Revised Text: Resolution:
  Proposed solution:

·	Apply the change into the UML diagram of the PIM model (make a
     new figure)
·	Apply the change into the XMI file created from the UML diagram
     (update the accompanying file by a new omgsnp-xmi12.xml file)
·	Apply the change in the section "3.2 Model classes, attributes and
     associations (details)" (re-generate the whole section from the
     XMI)

Disposition:	Resolved

The "Proposed resolution" for all of them is the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------


* apply the change into the UML diagram of the PIM model (make a new
  figure)


* apply the change into the XMI file created from the UML diagram
  (update the accompanied file)

The following changes were suggested to the SNP PIM model (and
consequently to the XML Schema - a PSM - defining the PML data
exchange format. Because all of these changes will be resolved by the
same mechanism I am putting them all in one issue (but Juergen may
choose to separate them into individual issues with the same "proposed
resolution" section).


The "Proposed resolution" for all of them is the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------


* apply the change into the UML diagram of the PIM model (make a new
  figure)


* apply the change into the XMI file created from the UML diagram
  (update the accompanied file)


* apply the change in the section "3.2 Model classes, attributes and

- Make it possible to Individual have more attributes by:
    
   - moved attributes 'size' and 'count_unit' from Population to Panel
   - made Individual to inherit from Population
   - removed association from Individual to Geographic_location and
     Taxon as they are now inherited from Population
   - removed associations from Molecular_sample to Panel and
     Individual and replaced them with one association to Population
   - Modified the association from Individual to Panel to allow more
     than one Panel
  
   The net result is that Individual can have new attributes
     - race
     - ethnicity
     - primary_language
     - language_family
   and it can be associated to more than one Panel
