Study Result Data Structure

A class-level view of the Study Result-based structure in VA-Spec data. Italicized text in each class exemplifies the kind of information it may capture — here a Cohort Allele Frequency Study Result reporting gnomAD data about a variant. The cohort link (dashed) is added by that profile, not the base Study Result class.

Study Result

e.g. pop-freq data items about HRAS:c.173C>T: alleleCount=341, alleleFreq=0.002, …

DataSet

the larger data set from which the results data was derived (e.g. gnomAD v3.4.1)

Method

(e.g. curation guides, experiment protocols)

StudyGroup

(e.g. non-Finnish European females)

Document

(e.g. publications, database records)

Contribution

(who, when, and how an agent contributed to an artifact)

Agent

(e.g. persons, organizations, software)

central artifact (Information Entity) provenance class arrow points from a class to the object it references; label shows the attribute & cardinality
