Slot: agent_type

Description: The type of agent that supports an edge or node. This is a general categorization of the type of agent that supports a statement, and is not intended to be a comprehensive description of the agent. 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 agent type would be "publication", and the evidence would be described in more detail in the evidence graph.
