ConceptSet

Note

This data class is at a trial use maturity level and may change in future releases. Maturity levels are described in the GKS Maturity Model.

Computational Definition

A set of concepts that may be considered as dependent (occurring together), or independent (existing separately) in the context of some knowledge reported about them, as indicated by a set membership operator. e.g. a set of independent molecular consequences that both result from the presence of a particular genetic variant (membership operator = OR).

Information Model

Some ConceptSet attributes are inherited from Element.

Field	Flags	Type	Limits	Description
id		string	0..1	The ‘logical’ identifier of the data element 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 an object from another.
extensions	⋮	Extension	0..m	A list of extensions to the Entity, that allow for capture of information not directly supported by elements defined in the model.
type		string	0..1	MUST be “ConceptSet”.
concepts	⋮	MappableConcept | ConceptSet	2..m	A list of concepts that are dependent (occurring together), or independent (existing separately), depending on the membership operator.
membershipOperator		string	1..1	The logical relationship between concepts in the set, in the context of some knowledge reported about them. The value ‘AND’ indicates that the concepts are dependent and occur together in this context - i.e. the reported assertion is not necessarily true for each concept on its own - only in combination with the other(s). The value ‘OR’ indicates that each concept applies independently in this context - i.e. the reported assertion is necessarily true for each concept on its own, independent of the presence of the other(s).
