CIMI: negation

[Gerard Freriks (ERS)]

Colleagues,

After the meeting I had some thoughts I want to share.

1- CIMI is about defining sets of Statements

2- The simplest Statement is: 

'A has a relationship with B'

S = A * B

Witch equals:

Statement = Noun . Verb , Adjective

Statement = Finding/Urine/Color (has as result) yellow

3- I propose three / four Modifiers:

Presence

State

Certainty

(Operation)

They make sense in some places in the Statement, but not all.

4- Statement:

-Present/NotPresent : effects the statement - there is NO statement A • B - Finding/Urine/Color is (or is not) yellow is present / is not present

-State (Final, Preliminary): The statement has the status Final or Preliminary - Finding/Urine/Color is (or is not) yellow is a final / preliminary result

-Certainty (uncertain, some what uncertain, neutral, somewhat certain, certain) - An opinion about the complete Statement - Finding/Urine/Color is (or is not) yellow is deemed certain / uncertain

5- A * B

A - never has modifiers

B - never has modifiers

Operator *-  can either A has as result B or A has not as result B - The Finding/Urine/Color is (or is not) yellow

Perhaps we can redefine this in terms of present / not present

A has as the result the presence of  B or A has as the result not present B

Then there are only 3 Modifiers needed.
