The BIRN Project lexicon uses this file as a temporary proxy for classes from the Ontology of Biomedical Investigation (OBI). These classes will be replaced by their OBI equivalents, once there is an official release built off BFO v1.1 that can be successfully classified using Pellet v1.5.0 in Protege.
2008-02-21 (BB): Updated the sham control role classes.
This is a proxy class to be replaced by its OBI equivalent, once there is an official release built off BFO v1.1 that can be successfully classified using Pellet v1.5.0 in Protege.
A subject group treatment identical to the experimental treatment but without the active agent under study.
Binary executable is a digital entity consisting of the binary representation of machine instructions of a specific processor or they may be binary pseudocode for a virtual machine. A non-source executable file is also called an object program. It is assumed that the binary executable file contains properly-formatted computer instructions. (derived from Wikipedia, Nov 1, 2007)
A source code module is an information content entity that specifies, using a programming language, some algorithm.
We need to have this in there somewhere, but it looks like OBI has something equivalent "source code module"; they have it classified as an information content entity, so I placed it here. (Maryann Martone)
A digital entity is an information entity which is a collection of bits that can be interpreted by a computer. Two digital entities are the same if they are bitwise identical. (OBI)
OBI has this as a child of "non realizable information entity"; we may need to update the entire hierarchy (Maryann Martone).

An algorithm is a plan which describes inputs, output of mathematical functions as well as workflow of execution for achieving an predefined objective. Algorithms are realized usually by means of implementation as computer programs for execution by automata.
