Accuracy and Cost

[Oliver Ruebenacker]

Hello, All,

Some thoughts for discussion:

In general, to increase accuracy means increasing the cost necessary
to achieve it. Absolute accuracy is impossible, and trying to move
towards it will drive costs beyond limit. A cost-benefit analysis is
required.

How much does this apply to BioPAX-OBO or OBO-Foundry?

Take care
Oliver

Oliver,

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking (or suggesting) in the
discussion topic.

Being a cost/benefit analysis, it depends on benefits.
Which are the use cases ?
Often this trade-off is really transformed into coverage vs complexity.
So far (and maybe for a while) the first has been more pressing.

ciao,
Andrea

I agree, it all comes down to the use cases,

However, was Oliver implying that BioPAX-OBO and OBO-Foundry are use
cases in themselves?

(That wouldn't be enough for me - need requirements (which sometimes
come from use cases))
