Comments:		Qualifiers allow representation of more complex, n-ary expressions that may not be accommodated by a simple S-P-O triple. For example, if a triple asserts that Variant X - is associated with sensitivity to - Drug Y, a qualifier can be used to indicate that this applies in the context of a particular treated Condition Z.
