Best way to handle physiologic measures?

[William Hayes]

If I wanted to encode something like 'drugX increases lung function' - what's the best way to handle that?

[Dexter Pratt]

I’d vote to start with a more specific term in an appropriate vocabulary

 

Here is MESH:Respiration

But it is still ambiguous what “increases” means.  How important is it to get the semantics exactly right?

Semantics are pretty important. This is actually a question that Julia Hoeng asked me that I wasn’t sure how to answer.  We should be able to capture physiologic measures.
