Class: Study Group (StudyGroup)

A collection of individuals or specimens from the same taxonomic class, selected for analysis in a scientific study based on their exhibiting one or more common characteristics (e.g. species, race, age, gender, disease state, income). May be referred to as a 'cohort' or 'population' in specific research settings.

Comments

A Study Group may include all participants in a given study, or specific subsets that are designated based on shared roles or characteristics.

- StudyGroup

Slots

Direct slots

memberCount --> Integer [0..1]

The total number of individual members in the StudyGroup.

isSubsetOf --> StudyGroup [*]

A larger StudyGroup of which this StudyGroup represents a subset.

characteristics --> Characteristic [*]

A feature or role shared by all members of the StudyGroup, representing a criterion for membership in the group.

Inherited slots

id --> String [1]

The 'logical' identifier of the entity in the system of record, e.g. a UUID. This 'id' is unique within a given system, but may or may not be globally unique outside the system. It is used within a system to reference one object from another.

Inherited from: Entity

Implementation Guidance

* Note that it is common for implementers to create their own internal logical ids - typically a serially or randomly generated value like a UUID that is assigned to the data object as it is created in a system. But an implementer may choose to reuse an existing, globally unique id from an external system or authority for this purpose (e.g. an HGNC id for a Gene object) - as long as it is unique within the implementing system, and can be used to reference the identified object in this context.

identifiers --> String [*]

A globally-unique 'business' identifier or accession number for the real-world entity represented by a data object. These are typically assigned by an external system or authority, and used to connect entities and share content across different systems.

Inherited from: Entity

Implementation Guidance

* Preferred values for this attribute are CURIEs or URIs - so the system that provisioned the identifier is clear.
* A given real world entity - e.g. a genetic variant - may have many business identifiers defined by different systems, which can be captured in the "identifiers" property to indicate that they represent the same thing.

type --> String [1]

The name of the class that is instantiated by a data object representing the Entity.

Inherited from: Entity

Implementation Guidance

* MUST be the label of a concrete class from the data model.

label --> String [0..1]

A primary name for the Entity.

Inherited from: Entity

alternativeLabels --> String [*]

Alternative name(s) for the Entity.

Inherited from: Entity

description --> String [0..1]

A free text description of the Entity.

Inherited from: Entity

extensions --> Extension [*]

A list of extensions to the Entity, that allow for capture of information not directly supported by elements defined in the model.

Inherited from: Entity

Implementation Guidance

* Extension objects have a key-value data structure that allows definition of custom fields in the data itself. Extensions are not expected to be natively understood, but may be used for pre-negotiated exchange of message attributes between systems.
