Slot: agent_type
Description: Describes the high-level category of agent who originally generated a statement of knowledge or other type of information.
Required: True
Notes: Note that this property indicates the type of agent who produced a final statement of knowledge, which is often different from the agent oragents who produced information used as evidence to support generation of this knowledge. For example, if a human curator concludes that a particular gene variant causes a medical condition - based on their interpretation of information produced by computational modeling tools, automated data analysis pipelines, and robotic laboratory assay systems - the agent_type for this statement is 'manual agent' - despite all of the evidence being created by automated agents. But if any of these systems is programmed to generate knowledge statements directly and without human assistance, the statement would be attributed to an 'automated_agent'.
