Property ideas related to Modeling viruses


  • entry receptor
  • duration on surface

Other property ideas:

- Biological precursor (represent metabolic pathways on Wikidata)

All current "followed by" properties apply to individuals. We need one that applies to classes, and more specifically, to chemical compounds.

Other non-sufficient properties:

Cellosaurus Bot properties edit

"originated from individual of taxon"


Motivationː

There are 227126 instances of cell line on Wikidata (https://w.wiki/Qet).

The source of those cell lines (as regarding the species) are represented with the property "found in taxon". That is a sub optimal modellin.

The current description of "Found in Taxon" says: "the taxon in which the item can be found".Two logical issues that I believe are crucial:

1) Cell lines are end products, they cannot be "remade" from new individuals. HeLa cells are derived from a human being, but cannot be found in any individuals of this taxon.

2)  Cell lines can be of mixed origin. This is currently modeled as found in both taxons (exː 108CC15), but the cell line would be found in any of the taxons specifically. It is a new, human-made construct.


Also, having such a property would allow a few other improvements, such as having allowed qualifiersː

  • Use of P21 as a qualifier for this property, as the cell line is (rigorously) not gendered, but the individual from which it originated is.
  • Sometimes we know the exact individual from which the cell line derived. P2561 could be used as a qualifier for named individuals (see "Cocca", the cat, on https://web.expasy.org/cellosaurus/CVCL_V013) .
  • P3629 could be used when the source is homo sapiens, and we know the age of the individual when the cell line was originated. Other property, more general for other taxons, could be created later.
