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
curated None knowledge generated through manual curation or interpretation of data or published study results
predicted None predictions generated computationally through inference over less direct forms of evidence (without human intervention or review)
text_mined None knowledge extracted from published text by NLP agents (without human intervention or review)
correlation None statistical correlations calculated between variables in a clinical or omics dataset, by an automated analysis pipeline
observed None edge reports a phenomenon that was reported/observed to have occurred (and possibly some quantification, e.g. how many times, at what frequency)
other None knowledge level may not fit into the categories above, or is not provided/known
mixed None used for sources that might provide edges with different knowledge levels, e.g.correlations in addition to curated Edges - set tag to Curated, unless predicate rules override
