Description: Controlled vocabulary of standardized aspects used to describe

the specific measurable or biological feature of a biomarker entity.

Name:        aspect.txt

Release:     2025_07_16

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 This document lists controlled terms that represent measurable or

 definable aspects of a biomarker entity. These terms indicate what

 property, modification, or characteristic of the biomarker is being

 evaluated, enabling structured representation of natural language

 phrases such as "increased IL6 level" or "presence of BRCA2 mutation".

 Each entry consists of the following line codes:

   ----  ----------  ---------------------------  ---------------------------------

 Code  Name        Content                      Occurrences

 ----  ----------  ---------------------------  ---------------------------------

 ID    Identifier  Aspect term                  Once; starts an entry

 DE   Definition  Definition/description       Once; line wrapping possible

 HI    Hierarchy                                Optional; zero or more

 EQ    Equivalent  External identifier with     Optional; zero or more

                      same meaning
