Parent class and superclasses all the way to to 'Entity'

This is an ontological definition of the entity using the standard format of specifying the parent class followed by specification of characteristics that distinguish this class from others in that class

Ontological definitions can sometimes be hard to read so this provides an informal version that is more user friendly where required

Examples of correct use of the label representing the entity

This indicates whether the entity has fuzzy boundaries e.g. adolescence. In that case users of the term must precisely specify the operationalisation of the class in each usage.

This specifies which of 13 BCIO lower level ontologies the entity is contained within. These are: Behaviour, Behaviour Change Technique, Dose, Engagement, Fidelity, Mechanisms of Action, Mode of Delivery, Population, Reach, Schedule, Setting, Source, Style of Delivery
