OVERVIEW
The purpose of this page is to track CRG priorities and work related to cleanup of the | Clinical finding (finding)| hierarchy for perception concepts. The concept review is being performed iteratively as follows:
- Initial review of all concepts in the | Hallucination (clinical finding) | subhierarchy was performed; outdate concepts and erroneous subsumption relationships were identified and documented
- Initial review of concepts related to perception were performed and inconsistencies and gaps in the observable entity hierarchy were identified and discussed with the observable entity advisory group
- Current work is focused on cleaning up the observable entity concepts as this is a pre-requisite to cleaning up any of the
Next Steps
Observable entity concepts require clean up
- Piper Allyn Ranalloworking with Daniel Karlsson and Elaine Wooler on a plan for appropriately modeling the observables required to accurately model |hallucination (finding)| concepts, as well as the larger set of |psychological finding of perception (finding)| concepts..
