Comment

@Helene Tuft Stavnes : not sure it is scalable to map component and component-specification to one element in SCT (2:1 map). Concerns about its scalability, potentially creating duplicates.

Example(s)

B—Phosphatidylethanol(16:0/18:1); subst.c. = ? µmol/L  created as Substance concentration of phosphatidylethanol in blood in umol/L
Phosphatidylethanol(16:0/18:1) mapped to phosphatidylethanol : missing the specification, this creates an actual dublicate to NPU26694 B—Phosphatidylethanol; subst.c. = ? µmol/L
other examples that can be discussed: DNA(spec.)—MT-ATP6 gene(NC_012920.1:g.8993T>G); entitic num.(0 1 2) = ? (how will the sequence be represented?) / P—Cytomegalovirus antibody(IgG; high avidity); arb.c.(proc.) = ? (how do we map when more than one spec?)
What when/if the spec. or comp. change over time, how will the more:one-map be affected?
