Class ObservableFeature

java.lang.Object

org.molgenis.data.support.AbstractEntity

org.molgenis.omx.observ.Characteristic

org.molgenis.omx.observ.ObservableFeature

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Entity, Autoid, Identifiable

@Entity
public class ObservableFeature
extends Characteristic
implements Entity

ObservableFeature: ObservableFeature defines anything that can be observed.

In other words, ObservableFeature are the questions asked, e.g. 'What is Height?', 'What is Systolic blood pressure?', or 'Has blue eyes?'.

Some questions may be repeated for multiple characteristics. For example 'What is [MarkerAllele] observed?' can be applied to all elements of a MarkerSet, and 'What is [medicin codes] uses' can be applied to a set of Medicine codes. This can be specified using the measuredCharacteristic field.

The identifier of ObservableFeature is globally unique. It is recommended that each ObservableFeature is named according to a well-defined ontology term or database accession. .
