I meant to mention that I am no longer trying to consider this model as an update to the ‘demographic’ model. I suggest we call it the ‘registry’ model for now.
I also forgot to mention that you can click on any class - the model is reasonably well documented.
They might - I still have to do a new analysis on the details. The class naming is more from BFO.
FACILITY for the moment is a building, theatre, ward, room etc normally with a specific business function. Possibly a bfo:Site or else bfo:3-D fiat boundary.
BIOLOGICAL_ENTITY is (currently): Any entity containing DNA and/or RNA, including living organisms, deceased organisms, body parts, tissue, blood, food items (meat, vegetables, fruit), bacteria and viruses. (This follows BFO).
Yes - I have taken the approach to produce a ‘new’ model for the moment, which allows us to think properly about the issues without constraint. We can then back-port some changes in a non-breaking way to the demographic model.
