Re: Encoding the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale….

Hi Joanne,

I found 4 references to the hamilton rating scale for depression in
bioportal
 - Read Codes
 - SNOMED-CT
 - NCI Thesaurus
 - SOPHARM

but none provides the questions nor the score for the answers.

  in SIO, a rating scale would go in as a specification (
http://semanticscience.org/resource/specification). Here's a start to
discuss the encoding of the scale items. For any particular rating scale
(e.g. 21 question hamilton scale), one could then generate the list of
criteria items with their score

:21-hamilton-depression-scale
 rdfs:label "21 question hamilton rating scale for depression";
 a sio:specification ; # instantiate the type
 sio:has-proper-part :hds-criteria-1, hdsd-criteria-2,... ; # these are the
spec criteria

# link to the expected score (dl syntax)
 subClassOf sio:specifies some :hds-score ;

:hds-criteria-1
  rdfs:label "hds1: assessment of depressed mood"@en;
  dc:title "depressed mood";
  a sio:criterion;
  # optionally capture the ordinal position of the item in the list
  sio:has-attribute [ a sio:ordinal-position; sio:has-value "1"^^xsd:int ];
  sio:has-attribute :hds-criteria-1-score ;
.
:hds-criteria-1-score
 a sio:quantity;
 subClassOf sio:is-derived-from some (:hds-criteria-1-score-1 or
:hds-criteria-1-score-2 or :hds-criteria-1-score-3 or
:hds-criteria-1-score-4;)

:hds-criteria-1-score-1
 rdfs:label "absent";
 dc:title "absent";
 a sio:association; # we could add something more specific here
 sio:has-value "0"^^xsd:int ;
 sio:is-attribute-of :hds-criteria-1 ;
.

:hds-score
  subClassOf sio:quantity;
# sio:calculation is not yet in sio
  subClassOf sio:is-output-of some (sio:calculation-addition and
sio:has-input some (hds-criteria-1-score, :hds-criteria-2-score, ...;))
.


then you would need a process by which the scale is used, and link instance
of :hds-score .
