evidence information
evidence
'Evidence Item' is a broad term covering any information interpreted as evidence in the act of making an assertion.
Classes representing different types of evidence items are imported here from ontologies such as OBI, IAO, and STATO, and include:
- measured data values
- derived data values such as statistical calculations and confidence measures
- figures presenting or describing such data
- author statements representing summaries of or conclusions drawn from such data
- established facts in a field of research
Note that publications and reports are considered separately from 'evidence items', as a they *contain* information (data values, figures author statements) that can be used as evidence. But on its own a publication or report is merely a proxy for this information.
