Crawford Revie Eva Blomqvist Karl Hammar Matthias Filter Patrick Lambrix Taras Günther Fernanda Dórea An ontology to support semantic interoperability among domains involved in health surveillance (animal health, public health and food safety). More details at http://datadrivensurveillance.org. Health Surveillance Ontology (HSO) This is an ontology to support (one) health surveillance, focused on "surveillance system level data", that is, data outputs from surveillance activities, such as number of samples collected, cases observed, etc. Relates an entity in the ontology to the name of the variable that is used to represent it in the code that generates the BFO OWL file from the lispy specification. Really of interest to developers only BFO OWL specification label Relates an entity in the ontology to the term that is used to represent it in the the CLIF specification of BFO2 Person:Alan Ruttenberg Really of interest to developers only BFO CLIF specification label From the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA): https://zenodo.org/record/344473#.WzvvyvkzYkV The Data Collection Framework (DCF) application is constituted of an interactive web-based application that aims at facilitating data exchange, data extraction and data reusability. A harmonized terminology is used to collect and analyse data in a coherent way with the aim to support scientific research. DCF_catalogues file contains all the valid catalogues published in the DCF. The SSD2 file contains the controlled terminologies based on the standard description of samples and analytical results (Standard Sample Description Extension), extended to cover additional data collection domains, such as zoonotic agents in food and animals, antimicrobial resistance and food additives. This annotation points to the specific catalague, within SSD2, form which terms were imported. SSD_catalogue "This annotation gives the specific code for the concept include din the ontology.

SSD_termScopeNote A collection of annotations which refer to all the annotation steps in the One Health Consensus Reporting Annotation Checklist (OH-CRAC). OH-CRAC is part of the One Health Codex - https://oh-surveillance-codex.readthedocs.io/en/latest/5-the-reporting-principle.html. One-Health Consensus Reference Annotation Checklist (OH-CRAC) This section provides information on what "caused" the surveillance activity and what is expected from the surveillance activity. It may be triggered by a new law or feedback from previous surveillance activities. It might even be initiated by practices in other (national and international) organisations. CRAC 1.1 Motivation / cause This section documents the results of consultation activities between the surveillance "actor" with its customers / stakeholders to identify/confirm the needs of the surveillance activity. Specifically, it documents what is agreed to be delivered by this surveillance activity, when, how and why. It also documents whether previously identified needs have changed. CRAC 1.2. Requirement analysis This section documents what surveillance objectives (e.g. prevalence estimation, case detection, early detection, disease freedom) and their quality criteria are defined to meet the needs of the end-users / stakeholders. It also describes existing legal or practical constraints, e.g. confidentiality, resources etc. CRAC 1.3. Surveillance objective and constraints This section gives an overview on all designed outputs, products and services related to the surveillance activity. This includes the output of the surveillance activity, but also related work, as e.g. preparation of systems and tools for dissemination, disclosure control methods etc. CRAC 2.1. Framework design This section describes which variables / measurements were planned to be collected / taken and which metadata set / standard were used. It further specifies if measured values were planned to be grouped or classified, how this was planned to be done. It also specifies if new variables derive from the original ones (see section 4.5, New variable/unit derivation). It may overlap with the description requested for section 2.3 (Surveillance methods/strategy) CRAC 2.2. Variable specifications This section describes the developed "collection strategy" (collection strategy in this context means, e.g. active or passive surveillance). It also describes the collection instruments (survey, data extraction methods etc.) and collection units (e.g. individuals, herds, food batch etc.). It may overlap with the surveillance variables specification described in section 2.2 (Variable specifications) CRAC 2.3. Surveillance methods/strategy CRAC 2.4. Sampling plan "This sub-section specifies the population(s) that were sampled. " CRAC 2.4.1. Sampled population This sub-section describes the design process followed for the sampling plan generation and the sampling criteria. CRAC 2.4.2. Sampling schema This sub-section describes the sample collection approach carried out including information on the practical handling, storage and labeling of taken samples by different actors (e.g. storage temperature, labeling with unique IDs). CRAC 2.4.3. Sample collection This sub-section details the processing of the samples prior to the analytical processing. CRAC 2.4.4. Sample preparation This sub-section reports on the analytical procedures applied to the different sets of samples. CRAC 2.4.5. Analytical procedures This section describes the methods used for the data processing including analysis of bioinformatics, trends, modelling, statistical tests, etc. This section also includes design of specifications for data integration from multiple data sources, validation of data and estimation. CRAC 2.5. Data processing/analysis This section describes how the specific sampling units were chosen based on the sampling plan that is described in section 2.4 (Sampling plan). In contrast to the information given in 2.4, this section should describe how the real "implementation" of the sampling plan took place, as sometimes the "field work" is done by other actors than the planning. CRAC 3.1. Practical aspects on sample selection "This section describes the activies undertaken to ensure that the people, processes and technology (e.g. web-based applications, GPS system) were ready to collect data and metadata. It includes the strategy, planning and training activities in preparation for the specific sampling activity. This description might include information on: - Preparing a sample storage and / or shipment strategy; - Training staff how to collect samples, e.g. physician; - Training staff how to analyze selected samples in the lab, e.g. perform ring trials - Provisioning of collection resources (e.g. laptops, collection apps, central data or sample repositories, questionnaires, information leaflets or letters, required lab material); - Agreements with intermediate collection bodies, (e.g. sub-contractors); - How security and confidentiality of data to be collected and data transmission was guaranteed" CRAC 3.2. Practical support activities This section describes how the execution / implementation of the sample collection worked out, e.g. if there were corrective actions taken along the sampling period. This should include reports on quality control activities carried out by labs and actors involved in sample collection. CRAC 3.3. Practical aspects on field and lab work "This section describes how the collected lab data and metadata were loaded into a suitable electronic environment for further processing. It may include a description of manual or automatic data capture processes that were applied to extract e.g. metadata from paper questionnaires, or converting the formats of files or encoding the variables received. It may also include analysis of the metadata and paradata associated with collection to ensure the collection activities have met requirements. It might also describe how physical samples or related material (questionnaires) will be archived. When software is used for data collection the version and software archiving should be described." CRAC 3.4. Practical aspects on information handling "This section describes any activity related to data integration or data fusion. The data collection could be a combination of new and historical data, from external or internal sources, from a variety of collection instruments etc. For example the data collection could be enriched by information from official (governmental) or non-official sources. It could further include a description on: - Data pooling, with the aim of increasing the effective number of observations of some phenomena; - Mapping or record linkage routines, with the aim of linking different data sources that use different encoding schemas; - Prioritising, when two or more sources contain data for the same variable, with potentially different values. - Data anonymization, e.g. if identifiers such as name and address are stripped to help to protect confidentiality." CRAC 4.1. Data integration "This section describes if data/variables were classified and/or encoded. Examples: - Automatic coding routines that assign numeric codes to text responses according to a pre-determined statistical classification. - Classification based on analytical results (e.g. MLST pattern), bioinformatics analysis (e.g. phylogenetic trees) or mathematical models (PCA, SVM / ANN)" CRAC 4.2. Data classification / encoding This section describes activities carried out to detect and localise actual or potential errors and discrepancies such as outliers, item non-response and miscoding (input data validation). CRAC 4.3. Data validation "This section describes what action was taken for incorrect, missing, unreliable or outdated data. For example new values may have been inserted or outdated data may have been removed. It should describe whether data were added or changed, the method used, and the flags used to mark them as changed. " CRAC 4.4. Data cleansing and correction This section describes if new data were derived from variables/units that were not explicitly provided in the data collection but were needed to deliver the required outputs. Examples include deriving variables on households where the collection units are persons or deriving variables on enterprises where the collection units are legal units. CRAC 4.5. New variable/unit derivation This section describes if weights for unit data records were created according to the methodology developed in sub-process 2.5 (Data processing/analysis). For example, weights might have been used to "gross-up" data to make them representative of the target population (e.g. for sample surveys or extracts from scanner data), or to adjust for non-response in total enumerations. In other situations, variables might have needed weighting for normalisation purpose or for benchmarking indicators (e.g. known population totals). CRAC 4.6. Weighing of records This section describes how aggregate data and population totals were generated from the data collection or lower-level aggregates. It includes summing data for records sharing certain characteristics (e.g. aggregation of data by demographic or geographic classifications), determining measures of average and dispersion, and applying weights from sub-process 4.6 (Weighting of records) to derive appropriate totals. In the case of statistical outputs, which use sample surveys, sampling errors corresponding to relevant aggregates may also be calculated in this section. CRAC 4.7. Data aggregation This section describes how data from section 4.7 (Data aggregation) were transformed into surveillance statistics outputs such as indexes, seasonally adjusted statistics, e.g. trend, cycle, seasonal and irregular components, accessibility measures, etc., as well as the recording of quality characteristics such as coefficients of variation. The preparation of maps, GIS outputs and geo-statistical services can be included to maximise the value and capacity to analyse the statistical information. CRAC 5.1. Surveillance output generation "This section describes how the quality of the generated surveillance statistical outputs were validated, in accordance with a general quality framework and with expectations. Validation activities can include: - Checking that the population coverage and response rates are as required; - Comparing the statistics with previous cycles (if applicable); - Checking that the associated metadata, paradata and quality indicators are present and in line with expectations; - Checking geospatial consistency of the data; - Confronting the statistics against other relevant data (both internal and external); - Investigating inconsistencies in the statistics; - Performing macro editing; - Validating the statistics against expectations and domain intelligence." CRAC 5.2. Surveillance output validation This section describes performed in-depth statistical analyses such as time-series analysis, consistency and comparability analysis, revision analysis (analysis of the differences between preliminary and revised estimates), analysis of asymmetries (discrepancies in mirror statistics) etc. CRAC 5.3. Surveillance output statistical analysis This section describes activities carried out to ensure that the data (and metadata) to be disseminated do not breach the appropriate rules on confidentiality according to either organisation policies and rules, or to the process-specific methodology created in section 2.5 (Data processing/analysis plan). This may include checks for primary and secondary disclosure, as well as the application of data suppression or perturbation techniques and output checking. The degree and method of statistical disclosure control may vary for different types of outputs. For example, the approach used for microdata sets for research purposes will be different to that for published tables, finalised outputs of geospatial statistics or visualisations on maps. CRAC 5.4.

A process may have a succession of participants at different phases of its unfolding. Thus there may be different players on the field at different times during the course of a football game; but the process which is the entire game s-depends_on all of these players nonetheless. Some temporal parts of this process will s-depend_on on only some of the players. Occurrent doesn't have a closure axiom because the subclasses don't necessarily exhaust all possibilites.

An occurrent that has temporal proper parts and for some time t, p s-depends_on some material entity at t. p is a process = Def. p is an occurrent that has temporal proper parts and for some time t, p s-depends_on some material entity at t. (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [083-003]) BFO 2 Reference: The realm of occurrents is less pervasively marked by the presence of natural units than is the case in the realm of independent continuants. Thus there is here no counterpart of ‘object’. In BFO 1.0 ‘process’ served as such a counterpart. In BFO 2.0 ‘process’ is, rather, the occurrent counterpart of ‘material entity’. Those natural – as contrasted with engineered, which here means: deliberately executed – units which do exist in the realm of occurrents are typically either parasitic on the existence of natural units on the continuant side, or they are fiat in nature. Thus we can count lives; we can count football games; we can count chemical reactions performed in experiments or in chemical manufacturing. We cannot count the processes taking place, for instance, in an episode of insect mating behavior.Even where natural units are identifiable, for example cycles in a cyclical process such as the beating of a heart or an organism’s sleep/wake cycle, the processes in question form a sequence with no discontinuities (temporal gaps) of the sort that we find for instance where billiard balls or zebrafish or planets are separated by clear spatial gaps. Lives of organisms are process units, but they too unfold in a continuous series from other, prior processes such as fertilization, and they unfold in turn in continuous series of post-life processes such as post-mortem decay.

However, this does not mean that fiat object parts are dependent for their existence on divisions or delineations effected by cognitive subjects. If, for example, it is correct to conceive geological layers of the Earth as fiat object parts of the Earth, then even though these layers were first delineated in recent times, still existed long before such delineation and what holds of these layers (for example that the oldest layers are also the lowest layers) did not begin to hold because of our acts of delineation.Treatment of material entity in BFOExamples viewed by some as problematic cases for the trichotomy of fiat object part, object, and object aggregate include: a mussel on (and attached to) a rock, a slime mold, a pizza, a cloud, a galaxy, a railway train with engine and multiple carriages, a clonal stand of quaking aspen, a bacterial community (biofilm), a broken femur. Note that, as Aristotle already clearly recognized, such problematic cases – which lie at or near the penumbra of instances defined by the categories in question – need not invalidate these categories.

Such units play a central role in almost all domains of natural science from particle physics to cosmology. Many scientific laws govern the units in question, employing general terms (such as ‘molecule’ or ‘planet’) referring to the types and subtypes of units, and also to the types and subtypes of the processes through which such units develop and interact. The division of reality into such natural units is at the heart of biological science, as also is the fact that these units may form higher-level units (as cells form multicellular organisms) and that they may also form aggregates of units, for example as cells form portions of tissue and organs form families, herds, breeds, species, and so on. At the same time, the division of certain portions of reality into engineered units (manufactured artifacts) is the basis of modern industrial technology, which rests on the distributed mass production of engineered parts through division of labor and on their assembly into larger, compound units such as cars and laptops. The division of portions of reality into units is one starting point for the phenomenon of counting. BFO 2 Reference: Each object is such that there are entities of which we can assert unproblematically that they lie in its interior, and other entities of which we can assert unproblematically that they lie in its exterior. This may not be so for entities lying at or near the boundary between the interior and exterior. This means that two objects – for example the two cells depicted in Figure 3 – may be such that there are material entities crossing their boundaries which belong determinately to neither cell. Something similar obtains in certain cases of conjoined twins (see below). BFO 2 Reference: To say that b is causally unified means: b is a material entity which is such that its material parts are tied together in such a way that, in environments typical for entities of the type in question,if c, a continuant part of b that is in the interior of b at t, is larger than a certain threshold size (which will be determined differently from case to case, depending on factors such as porosity of external cover) and is moved in space to be at t at a location on the exterior of the spatial region that had been occupied by b at t, then either b’s other parts will be moved in coordinated fashion or b will be damaged (be affected, for example, by breakage or tearing) in the interval between t and t.causal changes in one part of b can have consequences for other parts of b without the mediation of any entity that lies on the exterior of b. Material entities with no proper material parts would satisfy these conditions trivially. Candidate examples of types of causal unity for material entities of more complex sorts are as follows (this is not intended to be an exhaustive list):CU1: Causal unity via physical coveringHere the parts in the interior of the unified entity are combined together causally through a common membrane or other physical covering\. The latter points outwards toward and may serve a protective function in relation to what lies on the exterior of the entity [13, 47 BFO 2 Reference: an object is a maximal causally unified material entity BFO 2 Reference: ‘objects’ are sometimes referred to as ‘grains’ [74 b is an object means: b is a material entity which manifests causal unity of one or other of the types CUn listed above & is of a type (a material universal) instances of which are maximal relative to this criterion of causal unity.

A portion of matter is anything that includes elementary particles among its proper or improper parts: quarks and leptons, including electrons, as the smallest particles thus far discovered; baryons (including protons and neutrons) at a higher level of granularity; atoms and molecules at still higher levels, forming the cells, organs, organisms and other material entities studied by biologists, the portions of rock studied by geologists, the fossils studied by paleontologists, and so on.Material entities are three-dimensional entities (entities extended in three spatial dimensions), as contrasted with the processes in which they participate, which are four-dimensional entities (entities extended also along the dimension of time).According to the FMA, material entities may have immaterial entities as parts – including the entities identified below as sites; for example the interior (or ‘lumen’) of your small intestine is a part of your body. BFO 2.0 embodies a decision to follow the FMA here. A material entity is an independent continuant that has some portion of matter as proper or improper continuant part. (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [019-002]) Every entity which has a material entity as continuant part is a material entity. (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [020-002]) every entity of which a material entity is continuant part is also a material entity.

(axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [029-001]) BFO 2 Reference: In BFO 1.1 the assumption was made that the external surface of a material entity such as a cell could be treated as if it were a boundary in the mathematical sense. The new document propounds the view that when we talk about external surfaces of material objects in this way then we are talking about something fiat. To be dealt with in a future version: fiat boundaries at different levels of granularity.More generally, the focus in discussion of boundaries in BFO 2.0 is now on fiat boundaries, which means: boundaries for which there is no assumption that they coincide with physical discontinuities. The ontology of boundaries becomes more closely allied with the ontology of regions. BFO 2 Reference: a continuant fiat boundary is a boundary of some material entity (for example: the plane separating the Northern and Southern hemispheres; the North Pole), or it is a boundary of some immaterial entity (for example of some portion of airspace). Three basic kinds of continuant fiat boundary can be distinguished (together with various combination kinds [29 Continuant fiat boundary doesn't have a closure axiom because the subclasses don't necessarily exhaust all possibilites. An example would be the mereological sum of two-dimensional continuant fiat boundary and a one dimensional continuant fiat boundary that doesn't overlap it. The situation is analogous to temporal and spatial regions. Every continuant fiat boundary is located at some spatial region at every time at which it exists (iff (ContinuantFiatBoundary a) (and (ImmaterialEntity a) (exists (b) (and (or (ZeroDimensionalSpatialRegion b) (OneDimensionalSpatialRegion b) (TwoDimensionalSpatialRegion b)) (forall (t) (locatedInAt a b t)))) (not (exists (c t) (and (SpatialRegion c) (continuantPartOfAt c a t)))))) // axiom label in BFO2 CLIF: [029-001] continuant fiat boundary b is a continuant fiat boundary = Def. b is an immaterial entity that is of zero, one or two dimensions and does not include a spatial region as part.

A speed process profile, for example, is represented by a graph plotting against time the ratio of distance covered per unit of time. Since rates may change, and since such changes, too, may have rates of change, we have to deal here with a hierarchy of process profile universals at successive levels One important sub-family of rate process profiles is illustrated by the beat or frequency profiles of cyclical processes, illustrated by the 60 beats per minute beating process of John’s heart, or the 120 beats per minute drumming process involved in one of John’s performances in a rock band, and so on. Each such process includes what we shall call a beat process profile instance as part, a subtype of rate process profile in which the salient ratio is not distance covered but rather number of beat cycles per unit of time. Each beat process profile instance instantiates the determinable universal beat process profile. But it also instantiates multiple more specialized universals at lower levels of generality, selected from rate process profilebeat process profileregular beat process profile3 bpm beat process profile4 bpm beat process profileirregular beat process profileincreasing beat process profileand so on.In the case of a regular beat process profile, a rate can be assigned in the simplest possible fashion by dividing the number of cycles by the length of the temporal region occupied by the beating process profile as a whole. Irregular process profiles of this sort, for example as identified in the clinic, or in the readings on an aircraft instrument panel, are often of diagnostic significance. The simplest type of process profiles are what we shall call ‘quality process profiles’, which are the process profiles which serve as the foci of the sort of selective abstraction that is involved when measurements are made of changes in single qualities, as illustrated, for example, by process profiles of mass, temperature, aortic pressure, and so on. b is a process_profile =Def. there is some process c such that b process_profile_of c (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [093-002]) b process_profile_of c holds when b proper_occurrent_part_of c& there is some proper_occurrent_part d of c which has no parts in common with b & is mutually dependent on b& is such that b, c and d occupy the same temporal region (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [094-005]) (forall (x y) (if (processProfileOf x y) (and (properContinuantPartOf x y) (exists (z t) (and (properOccurrentPartOf z y) (TemporalRegion t) (occupiesSpatioTemporalRegion x t) (occupiesSpatioTemporalRegion y t) (occupiesSpatioTemporalRegion z t) (not (exists (w) (and (occurrentPartOf w x) (occurrentPartOf w z))))))))) // axiom label in BFO2 CLIF: [094-005] (iff (ProcessProfile a) (exists (b) (and (Process b) (processProfileOf a b)))) // axiom label in BFO2 CLIF: [093-002] process profile b is a process_profile =Def. there is some process c such that b process_profile_of c (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [093-002]) b process_profile_of c holds when b proper_occurrent_part_of c& there is some proper_occurrent_part d of c which has no parts in common with b & is mutually dependent on b& is such that b, c and d occupy the same temporal region (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [094-005]) (forall (x y) (if (processProfileOf x y) (and (properContinuantPartOf x y) (exists (z t) (and (properOccurrentPartOf z y) (TemporalRegion t) (occupiesSpatioTemporalRegion x t) (occupiesSpatioTemporalRegion y t) (occupiesSpatioTemporalRegion z t) (not (exists (w) (and (occurrentPartOf w x) (occurrentPartOf w z))))))))) // axiom label in BFO2 CLIF: [094-005] (iff (ProcessProfile a) (exists (b) (and (Process b) (processProfileOf a b)))) // axiom label in BFO2 CLIF: [093-002] r-quality RelationalQuality John’s role of husband to Mary is dependent on Mary’s role of wife to John, and both are dependent on the object aggregate comprising John and Mary as member parts joined together through the relational quality of being married. a marriage bond, an instance of love, an obligation between one person and another. b is a relational quality = Def. for some independent continuants c, d and for some time t: b quality_of c at t & b quality_of d at t.

Damion Dooley designated area on Earth a planned process which systematically, continuously or repeatedly measures, collected, collates, analyses, interprets and disseminates health and welfare related data from defined populations. A specific surveillance activity that is planned and has (or will have) associated results. A surveillance component or a surveillance system could both be a surveillance activity. Ideally, every activity would have unique attributes for methods - for instance, only one sampling stage. If samples are collected in a slaughterhouse AND in farms, these would ideally be modeled as two different activities, and the appropriate properties used to declare them as linked. But since activities are not defined the same in every health surveillance sector, nor do all data support such a granularity, the class is able to model methods and results for any surveillance activity declared. One surveillance activity should have an unique identifier, to which results are linked. The act of being a "planned activity" is used in the context of OBI, where his implies the existence of a protocol for action. Therefore, surveillance activities such as outbreak investigations, are also considered a planned process (even if the outbreak itself is not a planned occurrence, the response to one is planned for).

Paris, France, OIE. https://www.fp7-risksur.eu/terminology/glossary surveillance objective A directive information that describes why surveillance is necessary and what it will accomplish. https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki/ https://www.fp7-risksur.eu/terminology/glossary surveillance purpose A surveillance objective to search for any animals affected, clinically or not, by the hazard under surveillance. https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki This objective is appropriate if the hazard is present, regardless of whether the hazard occurrence is endemic, epidemic or sporadic, and action will be taken to control disease whenever it is detected. case detection A surveillance objective to gather evidence that can demonstrate, with a given confidence level, that a specific hazard is not present in a given population. https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki This objective is appropriate if the target hazard is thought to be absent in the territory to be covered and the aim is to demonstrate disease freedom for trade or non−trade purposes (e.g. improve public health, to decide when to stop an eradication programme and to eliminate production losses and control costs due to endemic disease). This may apply to diseases which a) have been historically absent, b) have been eradicated and official freedom has been confirmed or c) are thought to be eradicated, but official freedom has not yet been confirmed. demonstration of disease freedom A surveillance objective to detect any hazard cases as soon as possible. https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki This objective is appropriate for a situation where the disease is currently absent in the country or region. It may be applied to surveillance for an unknown disease or a known disease considered to pose a non−negligible risk of incursion or emergence. It may also apply to the early stages of an outbreak. early detection A surveillance objective focusedon gathering data to estimate the true or apparent prevalence of a hazard in a given population. https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki This objective is appropriate if the target hazard is (thought to be) present in the territory to be covered, and an assessment of the prevalence and or changes in prevalence over time is needed. prevalence estimation https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki verify health intervention success purpose verify success https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki maintaining hazard freedom purpose maintain freedom https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki detect hazard introduction purpose detect introduction https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki outbreak control purpose control outbreak https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki informing health intervention purpose inform intervention https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki detect changes in hazard occurrence purpose detect changes https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki hazard control purpose control https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki hazard erradication purpose eradicate This includes for instance the calculated sample size (which can include primary and secondary sampling units in case of clustered units), the frequency of sampling, etc. A sampling scheme design to meet a specific surveillance objective and/or purpose of a surveillance activity. sampling design protocol A reporting protocol, generally used within a surveillance activity, detailing what are the reporting obligations associated with a specific surveillance target in a specific area, the reporting chain (who is obliged to report and how is the information flow from reporting), and any eventual incentives for reporting. reporting protocol A protocol detailing how specimens will be collected as part of the data gathering phase of a surveillance activity. sample collection protocol This does not include the definition of how many samples will collected, but specifically how they will be collected - where, by whom, etc. specimen collection protocol A protocol that describes which diagnostic test or tests will be used to identify animals (or another epidemiological unit) infected with a specific pathogen, possibly in more than one round of screening. A protocol to be used within a surveillance activity to classify epidemiological units according to a specific outcome. diagnostic protocol An action specification for specific actions to be taken as part of a health surveillance activity. surveillance methods specification A surveillance context in which sampling in done continuously, triggered by the existing of cases of interest, for instance reporting of confirmed cases or collection of samples from every slaughter batch. https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki Continuous data collection A surveillance context in which data are repeated collected from the same selected sites or groups of animals to identify changes in the health status of a specified population over time. https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki https://www.fp7-risksur.eu/terminology/glossary Surveillance sentinels should act as a proxy for the larger population of interest; they may be selected on the basis of risk but can also be selected randomly or on the basis of convenience or compliance. Sentinel surveillance A surveillance context which explores traditional information networks by using participatory rural appraisal methods. https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki https://www.fp7-risksur.eu/terminology/glossary Participatory surveillance explores traditional information networks by using participatory rural appraisal methods such as ranking, scoring and visualisation techniques to conduct risk-based, hazard-specific surveillance. The approach uses semi-structured interviews with key informants. This enables communities to provide their knowledge regarding health events, risks, impacts and control opportunities by gathering qualitative health data from defined populations. The analysis of participatory data emphasises the comparison of information obtained from multiple informants; the method uses a variety of techniques to obtain the most likely interpretation of events. The objective is to enhance sensitivity by identifying cases based on a clinical case definition; these may then be evaluated and confirmed using either rapid tests in the field or laboratory diagnostics. Conventional epidemiological investigation techniques can be used to evaluate and confirm outbreaks detected by participatory surveillance as part of trace-back and trace-forwards activities. Participatory surveillance A surveillance context in which data are generated through the identification of cases based on agreed-upon definitions. https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki https://www.fp7-risksur.eu/terminology/glossary Traditional disease surveillance which relies on the collection of data about the occurrence of pre-defined diseases or conditions and which uses agreed-upon case definitions; these data are analysed to produce indicators that point towards the existence of a threat. Indicator-based surveillance may be hazard-specific or general and includes the use of clinical or other data for syndromic surveillance Indicator−based surveillance A surveillance context in which health-related information (clinical signs or other data) that might precede or substitute for formal diagnosis are used as indicators of spatio-temporal trends in hazard occurrence. https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki https://www.fp7-risksur.eu/terminology/glossary#group-S Information collected through syndromic surveillance may be used to indicate a sufficient probability of a change in the health of the population to deserve further investigation or to enable a timely assessment of the impact of health threats which may require action. This type of surveillance is not usually focused on a particular hazard so can be used to detect a variety of diseases or pathogens including new (emerging) diseases. This type of surveillance is particularly applicable for early warning surveillance. Syndromic surveillance https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki census sampling https://github.com/SVA-SE/AHSURED/wiki convenience sampling A sampling strategy in which population units are selected such that each possible unit has a fixed and known or equal probability of selection.

Baseline surveillance A surveillance sampling strategy in which an aspired outcome is explicity stated. Targeted surveillance A targeted surveillance strategy in which the aim is early detection of variants of concern (VoC) in individuals. Screening for Variants of Concern (VoC) A priority surveillance strategy in which subsets of a defined population can be identified who are, have been, or in the future may be exposed or not exposed - or exposed in different degrees - to a disease of interest and are selected to under go repeat sampling over a defined period of time.

Intra-jurisdictional outbreak investigation genetic epidemiology surveillance datum objective specification In the protocol of a ChIP assay the objective specification says to identify protein and DNA interaction. a directive information entity that describes an intended process endpoint. When part of a plan specification the concretization is realized in a planned process in which the bearer tries to effect the world so that the process endpoint is achieved. 2009-03-16: original definition when imported from OBI read: "objective is an non realizable information entity which can serve as that proper part of a plan towards which the realization of the plan is directed." 2014-03-31: In the example of usage ("In the protocol of a ChIP assay the objective specification says to identify protein and DNA interaction") there is a protocol which is the ChIP assay protocol. In addition to being concretized on paper, the protocol can be concretized as a realizable entity, such as a plan that inheres in a person. The objective specification is the part that says that some protein and DNA interactions are identified. This is a specification of a process endpoint: the boundary in the process before which they are not identified and after which they are. During the realization of the plan, the goal is to get to the point of having the interactions, and participants in the realization of the plan try to do that.

This is a data item because it is about the cell population. Each element records an event and is typically further composed a set of measurment data items that record the fluorescent intensity stimulated by one of the lasers. 2009-03-16: data item deliberatly ambiguous: we merged data set and datum to be one entity, not knowing how to define singular versus plural. So data item is more general than datum. 2009-03-16: removed datum as alternative term as datum specifically refers to singular form, and is thus not an exact synonym. 2014-03-31: See discussion at http://odontomachus.wordpress.com/2014/03/30/aboutness-objects-propositions/ JAR: datum -- well, this will be very tricky to define, but maybe some information-like stuff that might be put into a computer and that is meant, by someone, to denote and/or to be interpreted by some process...

PERSON: Chris Stoeckert OBI_0000142 information content entity 1 1 10 feet. 3 ml. a scalar measurement datum is a measurement datum that is composed of two parts, numerals and a unit label. 2009-03-16: we decided to keep datum singular in scalar measurement datum, as in this case we explicitly refer to the singular form Would write this as: has_part some 'measurement unit label' and has_part some numeral and has_part exactly 2, except for the fact that this won't let us take advantage of OWL reasoning over the numbers. Instead use has measurment value property to represent the same. Use has measurement unit label (subproperty of has_part) so we can easily say that there is only one of them. PERSON: Alan Ruttenberg PERSON: Melanie Courtot scalar measurement datum An information content entity whose concretizations indicate to their bearer how to realize them in a process. 2009-03-16: provenance: a term realizable information entity was proposed for OBI (OBI_0000337) , edited by the PlanAndPlannedProcess branch. Original definition was "is the specification of a process that can be concretized and realized by an actor" with alternative term "instruction".It has been subsequently moved to IAO where the objective for which the original term was defined was satisfied with the definitionof this, different, term. 2013-05-30 Alan Ruttenberg: What differentiates a directive information entity from an information concretization is that it can have concretizations that are either qualities or realizable entities. The concretizations that are realizable entities are created when an individual chooses to take up the direction, i.e. has the intention to (try to) realize it. 8/6/2009 Alan Ruttenberg: Changed label from "information entity about a realizable" after discussions at ICBO Werner pushed back on calling it realizable information entity as it isn't realizable. However this name isn't right either. An example would be a recipe. The realizable entity would be a plan, but the information entity isn't about the plan, it, once concretized, *is* the plan. -Alan PERSON: Alan Ruttenberg PERSON: Bjoern Peters directive information entity data set Intensity values in a CEL file or from multiple CEL files comprise a data set (as opposed to the CEL files themselves). A data item that is an aggregate of other data items of the same type that have something in common. Averages and distributions can be determined for data sets. 2009/10/23 Alan Ruttenberg. The intention is that this term represent collections of like data. So this isn't for, e.g. the whole contents of a cel file, which includes parameters, metadata etc. This is more like java arrays of a certain rather specific type 2014-05-05: Data sets are aggregates and thus must include two or more data items.

Territory Territory planned process planned process Injecting mice with a vaccine in order to test its efficacy A processual entity that realizes a plan which is the concretization of a plan specification. 'Plan' includes a future direction sense. That can be problematic if plans are changed during their execution. There are however implicit contingencies for protocols that an agent has in his mind that can be considered part of the plan, even if the agent didn't have them in mind before. Therefore, a planned process can diverge from what the agent would have said the plan was before executing it, by adjusting to problems encountered during execution (e.g. choosing another reagent with equivalent properties, if the originally planned one has run out.) We are only considering successfully completed planned processes. A plan may be modified, and details added during execution. For a given planned process, the associated realized plan specification is the one encompassing all changes made during execution. This means that all processes in which an agent acts towards achieving some objectives is a planned process. Bjoern Peters branch derived 6/11/9: Edited at workshop.

The definition includes whole organisms, and can include a human. The link between specimen role and study subject role has been removed. A specimen taken as part of a case study is not considered to be a population representative, while a specimen taken as representing a population, e.g. person taken from a cohort, blood specimen taken from an animal) would be considered a population representative and would also bear material sample role. Note: definition is in specimen creation objective which is defined as an objective to obtain and store a material entity for potential use as an input during an investigation. blood taken from animal: animal continues in study, whereas blood has role specimen. something taken from study subject, leaves the study and becomes the specimen. parasite example - when parasite in people we study people, people are subjects and parasites are specimen - when parasite extracted, they become subject in the following study specimen can later be subject. GROUP: Role Branch OBI specimen role organization PMID: 16353909.AAPS J. 2005 Sep 22;7(2):E274-80. Review. The joint food and agriculture organization of the United Nations/World Health Organization Expert Committee on Food Additives and its role in the evaluation of the safety of veterinary drug residues in foods. An entity that can bear roles, has members, and has a set of organization rules. Members of organizations are either organizations themselves or individual people. Members can bear specific organization member roles that are determined in the organization rules. The organization rules also determine how decisions are made on behalf of the organization by the organization members. BP: The definition summarizes long email discussions on the OBI developer, roles, biomaterial and denrie branches. It leaves open if an organization is a material entity or a dependent continuant, as no consensus was reached on that. The current placement as material is therefore temporary, in order to move forward with development. Here is the entire email summary, on which the definition is based: 1) there are organization_member_roles (president, treasurer, branch editor), with individual persons as bearers 2) there are organization_roles (employer, owner, vendor, patent holder) 3) an organization has a charter / rules / bylaws, which specify what roles there are, how they should be realized, and how to modify the charter/rules/bylaws themselves. It is debatable what the organization itself is (some kind of dependent continuant or an aggregate of people). This also determines who/what the bearer of organization_roles' are. My personal favorite is still to define organization as a kind of 'legal entity', but thinking it through leads to all kinds of questions that are clearly outside the scope of OBI. Interestingly enough, it does not seem to matter much where we place organization itself, as long as we can subclass it (University, Corporation, Government Agency, Hospital), instantiate it (Affymetrix, NCBI, NIH, ISO, W3C, University of Oklahoma), and have it play roles. This leads to my proposal: We define organization through the statements 1 - 3 above, but without an 'is a' statement for now. We can leave it in its current place in the is_a hierarchy (material entity) or move it up to 'continuant'. We leave further clarifications to BFO, and close this issue for now.

A plan is a realizable entity that is the inheres in a bearer who is committed to realizing it as a planned process. This class is included to make clear how the plan specification, the plan, and the planned process relate. OBI will however only subclass and work under the 'plan specification', and 'planned process' class, as we want to avoid to get deep into discussions of 'intend' etc. AR, BP, JM, MC, PRS branch derived plan protocol PCR protocol, has objective specification, amplify DNA fragment of interest, and has action specification describes the amounts of experimental reagents used (e..g. buffers, dNTPS, enzyme), and the temperature and cycle time settings for running the PCR.

Barry Smith pointed out that this would lead to an infinite regression, as there would have to be a plan to conduct a planning process, which in itself would be the result of planning etc. Therefore, the restrictions on 'planning' were loosened to allow for informal processes that result in an 'ad hoc plan '. This required changing from 'has_specified_output some plan specifiction' to 'has_participant some plan specification'.

The definition was clarified to differentiate it from protocol. study design The part of the pancreas that is part of the exocrine system and which produces and store zymogens of digestive enzymes, such as chymotrypsinogen and trypsinogen in the acinar cells [GO]. The exocrine pancreas is composed of acinar epithelial cells and ductal epithelium that manufacture the proteolytic enzymes and bicarbonate required for digestion.[TAO] The part of the pancreas that acts as an exocrine gland, consisting of the pancreatic acini, which produce pancreatic juice and secrete it into the intestine to aid in protein digestion. [TFD][VHOG] In the hagfish and lampreys (our most primitive vertebrate species of today), the first sign of 'a new organ' is found as collections of endocrine cells around the area of the bile duct connection with the duodenum. These endocrine organs are composed of 99% beta cells and 1% somatostatin-producing delta cells. Compared to the more primitive protochordates (e.g. amphioxus), this represents a stage where all previously scattered insulin-producing cells of the intestinal tissue have now quantitatively migrated to found a new organ involved in sensing blood glucose rather than gut glucose. Only later in evolution, the beta cells are joined by exocrine tissue and alpha cells (exemplified by the rat-, rabbit- and elephant-fishes). Finally, from sharks and onwards in evolution, we have the islet PP-cell entering to complete the pancreas.[well established][VHOG] AAO:0010407 BTO:0000434 CALOHA:TS-1241 EMAPA:35328 EV:0100093 FMA:16017 MA:0002415 NCIT:C32546 TAO:0001249 UMLS:C0553695 VHOG:0000048 XAO:0000137 ZFA:0001249 exocrine pancreas pars exocrina pancreatis uberon exocrine component of pancreas exocrine part of pancreas UBERON:0000017 exocrine pancreas An organ that is capable of transducing sensory stimulus to the nervous system.

However, differences can be found in the morphology of the mucosa columnar epithelial cells and the number of goblet cells, suggesting functional differentiation. The intestine has numerous folds that become progressively shorter in a rostral-to-caudal direction. Proportionally, these folds are significantly larger than the finger-like intestinal villi of mammals and other amniotes (Wallace et al. 2005).

Anatomical system containing glands which regulates bodily functions though the secretion of hormones.[AAO] Multicellular organisms have complex endocrine systems, allowing responses to environmental stimuli, regulation of development, reproduction, and homeostasis. Nuclear receptors (NRs), a metazoan-specific family of ligand-activated transcription factors, play central roles in endocrine responses, as intermediates between signaling molecules and target genes. The NR family includes ligand-bound and orphan receptors, that is, receptors with no known ligand or for which there is no ligand Pocket. Understanding NR evolution has been further improved by comparison of several completed genomes, particularly those of deuterostomes and ecdysozoans. In contrast, evolution of NR ligands is still much debated. One hypothesis proposes that several independent gains and losses of ligand-binding ability in NRs occurred in protostomes and deuterostomes.

The endocrine and exocrine pancreas are coassociated in crown gnathostomes (50). In Branchiostoma and Ciona, there is no diverticulum as there is in hagfishes, lampreys, and gnathostomes, only dispersed insulin-secreting cells in the walls of the gastrointestinal tract (51, 52) The zebrafish does not have a discrete pancreas. Exocrine pancreatic tissue can be found scattered along the intestinal tract. The acinar structure of the exocrine pancreas is very similar to that of mammals and comprises cells with a very dark, basophilic cytoplasm The mature pancreas of higher vertebrates and mammals comprises two major functional units: the exocrine pancreas, which is responsible for the production of digestive enzymes to be secreted into the gut lumen, and the endocrine pancreas, which has its role in the synthesis of several hormones with key regulatory functions in food uptake and metabolism. The exocrine portion constitutes the majority of the mass of the pancreas, and contains only two different cell types, the secretory acinar cells and the ductular cells. The endocrine portion, which comprises only 1-2% of the total mass, contains five different cell types, which are organized into mixed functional assemblies referred to as the islets of Langerhans AAO:0010112 BTO:0000988 CALOHA:TS-0736 EFO:0000855 EHDAA2:0001367 EHDAA:6893 EMAPA:17503 EV:0100092 FMA:7198 GAID:334 MA:0000120 MAT:0000075 MESH:D010179 MIAA:0000075 NCIT:C12393 OpenCyc:Mx4rvVimZZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA TAO:0000140 UMLS:C0030274 VHOG:0000050 XAO:0000136 ZFA:0000140 galen:Pancreas uberon UBERON:0001264 pancreas An articular capsule (or joint capsule) is an envelope surrounding a synovial joint.

A liver evolved that, among its many functions, stores considerable energy as glycogen or lipid (reference 2).[well established][VHOG] hepatic An organ sometimes referred to as a liver is found associated with the digestive tract of the primitive chordate Amphioxus. However, this is an enzyme secreting gland, not a metabolic organ, and it is unclear how truly homologous it is to the vertebrate liver. The zebrafish liver differs from the mammalian liver in that the hepatocytes are not clearly organized in cords or lobules and the typical portal triads are not apparent. In addition, the zebrafish liver does not have Kuppfer cells. Furthermore, a clear distinction can be made between the male and female liver in the adult zebrafish. The female hepatocytes are very basophilic (Figure 15c) as a result of the production of vitellogenin (Van der Ven et al. 2003). The liver is found in all vertebrates, and is typically the largest visceral organ. Its form varies considerably in different species, and is largely determined by the shape and arrangement of the surrounding organs. Nonetheless, in most species it is divided into right and left lobes; exceptions to this general rule include snakes, where the shape of the body necessitates a simple cigar-like form. The internal structure of the liver is broadly similar in all vertebrates. secretes bile and functions in metabolism of protein and carbohydrate and fat, synthesizes substances involved in the clotting of the blood, synthesizes vitamin A, detoxifies poisonous substances, stores glycogen, and breaks down worn-out erythrocytes[GO].

Anatomical system that provides locomotion and physical support to the organism.[AAO] There are more than 50,000 extant vertebrate species, representing over 500 million years of evolution. During that time, the vertebrate musculoskeletal systems have adapted to aquatic, terrestrial, fossorial, and arboreal lifestyles, while simultaneously retaining functionally integrated axial and appendicular skeletal systems.[well established][VHOG] musculoskeletal AAO:0010546 CALOHA:TS-1311 EMAPA:32714
