Dubious about representation of gender

[markwilkinson]

In the "Personal Information" model, you have made a Snomed URI the value of the sio "has value" predicate. This is... likely not a great way to do it.

The measurement-value node could be rdf:type snomedct:feminine_gender, and the "has value" be "Female" or something like that... but it's likely not a good idea to use a Class URI as the value of a has-value predicate (which is intended to be some kind of literal)

Hi Mark,

If I understood your comments correctly, then the model should look something like this right?

P a ncbi:homo_sapiens
P sio:has-attribute A

A sio:has-measurement-value MV

MV a snomedct:feminine_gender
MV sio:has-value "Female"

I think that's what I suggested... M

Hi Mark,
I don't think measurement value node will work here. According to sio class definition measurement value is subtype of number. Looks like we can't use it to represent string.

What about these two options?

Option 1

P a ncbi:homo_sapiens
P sio:has-attribute A

A a ncit:Sex
A rdf:value SV

SV a snomedct:feminine_gender

In option 1 we may have to map parent class of ncit:Sex as an equivalentClass to sio:Attribute

Option 2

P a ncbi:homo_sapiens
P sio:has-attribute A

A a sio:Attribute
A sio:isAbout ncit:Sex
A rdf:value SV

SV a snomedct:feminine_gender
