Slot: qualified_predicate

Predicate to be used in an association when subject and object qualifiers are present and the full reading of the statement requires a qualification to the predicate in use in order to refine or increase the specificity of the full statement reading. This qualifier holds a relationship to be used instead of that expressed by the primary predicate, in a ‘full statement’ reading of the association, where qualifier-based semantics are included. This is necessary only in cases where the primary predicate does not work in a full statement reading.

name: qualified predicate
description: Predicate to be used in an association when subject and object qualifiers
  are present and the full reading of the statement requires a qualification to the
  predicate in use in order to refine or  increase the specificity of the full statement
  reading.  This qualifier holds a relationship to be used instead of that  expressed
  by the primary predicate, in a ‘full statement’ reading of the association, where
  qualifier-based  semantics are included.  This is necessary only in cases where
  the primary predicate does not work in a  full statement reading.
notes:
- 'to express the statement that “Chemical X causes increased expression of Gene Y”,
  the core triple is read  using the fields subject:ChemX, predicate:affects, object:GeneY
  . . . and the full statement is read using  the fields subject:ChemX, qualified_predicate:causes,
  object:GeneY, object_aspect: expression,  object_direction:increased. The predicate
  ‘affects’ is needed for the core triple reading, but does not make  sense in the
  full statement reading  (because “Chemical X affects increased expression of Gene
  Y'''' is not  what we mean to say here: it causes increased expression of Gene Y)'
