| Comments: | The qualifier attribute allows representation of more complex, n-ary expressions that may not be accommodated by a simple subject-predicate-object triple. For example, if this triple asserts that 'Variant X' - predicts sensitivity to - 'Drug Y', a qualifier can be used to indicate that this applies in the context of a particular 'Disease Z'. Qualifiers can also add information that 'quantifies' a Statement - e.g. for a Statement triple asserting that a 'Variant X'- causes - 'Phenotype Y', a qualifier can be used to add penetrance information that quantifies the percentage of carriers in which the phenotype is observed to manifest. |
