Enum: KnowledgeLevelEnum
The level of knowledge that supports an edge or node. This is a general categorization of the type of evidence that supports a statement, and is not intended to be a comprehensive description of the evidence. For example, a statement may be supported by a single publication, but that publication may contain multiple types of evidence, such as a computational prediction and a manual curation. In this case, the knowledge level would be "curated", and the evidence would be described in more detail in the evidence graph.
Permissible Values
Value |
Meaning |
Description |
knowledge_assertion |
None |
Knowledge asserted by a human expert, based on their interpretation of data or published study results |
statistical_association |
None |
Statistical associations calculated between variables in a clinical or omics dataset, by an automated analysis pipeline |
prediction |
None |
Predictions generated computationally through inference over less direct forms of evidence (without human intervention or review) |
observation |
None |
Edge reports a phenomenon that was reported/observed to have occurred (and possibly some quantification, e.g. how many times, at what frequency) |
not_provided |
None |
The knowledge level/type fora statement is not provided, typically because it cannot be determined from available information. |
logical_entailment |
None |
a statement reporting a conclusion that follows logically from premises, which are typically well-established facts or knowledge assertions. (e.g. fingernail part of finger, finger part of hand → fingernail part of hand)). Logical entailments are based on dedictive inference, and generally have a high degree of confidence when based on sound premises and inference logic. |
mixed |
None |
A statement that is supported by a mix of different types of evidence, such as a combination of manual curation and computational prediction. This is a catch-all category for statements that do not fit cleanly into one of the other categories. |
other |
None |
A knowledge level that does not fit into any of the other categories. This is a catch-all category for knowledge levels that are not covered by the other categories. |
