Concept Inactivation

User Requirements for additional tooling functionality

Summary of changes:

1. New Inactivation Reasons:

   1. Classification Derived Concept

   2. Meaning of Concept Unknown

2. New Historical Associations:

   1. PARTIALLY_EQUIVALENT_TO

   2. ALTERNATIVE

   3. POSSIBLY_REPLACED_BY

3. Additional Requirements for all Inactivation Reasons:

   1. The ability to annotate each inactivation with a free text statement

   2. The ability to link to an appropriate section of the Editorial Guide or reference source

4. For further discussion:

   1. The ability to create a new concept from within the workflow for inactivation of a concept because it is ambiguous.

Changes proposed for each inactivation reason:

1. Ambiguous Concept:

   1. Interim changes:

      1. Where an author provides only one POSSIBLY_EQUIVALENT_TO target raise a prompt asking if a further POSSIBLY_EQUIVALENT_TO target is required. Allow the author to progress if only one target chosen.

      1. Provide the option to create a new concept from within the inactivation workflow
