ITEM: see title
FORUM POST: see below
SOLUTION:
only convention for mother, father is the main scope of this themis proposal. First two conventions. One additional convention tries to guide (to as specifically) other biological relationships.
-
use concept 4277283 to represent personA is biological mother of personB (in column relationship_concept_id). Use concept 4321888 to represent personC is biological father of personB. Prioritize mother or father relationship (if known) and try to avoid only saying biological parent. Only if parent gender is not known, use 'biological parent' (concept 4029630). Use of biological parent (and not mother or father) triggers a heel data quality notification).
-
If person A has a recorded biological relationship to person person B (e.g., mother, father, parent), always represent the reverse relationship as well (daughter, son, child). Prioritize biological son (4014096) /biological daughter (4308126) based on sex at birth. Only if child gender is not know, use biological child (4326600). Lack of reverse relationship triggers data quality error. Use of less preferred 'biological child' concept triggers data quality notification.
-
If you have other biological relationship in source data, use concepts that are descendants of concept_id 4054070 (relative). This convention does not prevent representing other non-biological relationships between persons. The goal of this convention is to restrict the value set of concepts for "encouraged" biological relationships. (heel notification not possible here; no way to distinguish it is biological statement)
see concept_ids discussion below. In your comment, indicate concepts you like the most
NEXT STEPS: add conventions in SOLUTION
HEEL: DQ notification if parent concept id is used (not mother or father)
Current specs do not prescribe specific vocabulary concept to use when linking persons in FACT_RELATIONSHIP
Goal: recommend specific concept for column relationship_concept_id.
Use natural father and natural mother from this parent concept of natural parent

(reverse relationship is natural child)

I want to write a Data Quality notification in Achilles but for that it needs to tighter specified.
