refer to #5566

Also, it sounds like (assuming we are continuing to use the "cross-species analog" relation), we could have 2 logical definitions. @nicolevasilevsky, is it something that is allowed?

based on Katie's comment on #5566, this suggested logical definition would be incorrect, as not all feline leukemia are due to a virus infection.

no, unfortunately, we can't have two, but we could possibly have one combined logical def, but we should check with @cmungall or @matentzn about this

[matentzn]

In general we should

• define the human "analog"
• link the species-specific class to the human analog with the cross-species analog relation

However this pattern will eventually break down, in particular where we have non-human diseases without a human counterpart.

Yes, I think maybe we need to set this one aside as "something that needs to be discussed in a workshop"

[nicolevasilevsky]

@diatomsRcool can I convert this to a discussion topic since this does not seem to be an actionable ticket?

[diatomsRcool]

Fine by me.

It is my understanding that even though MOST feline leukemia are due to infection by a virus, not ALL the feline leukemia are due to infection.
If this is correct, this issue can be close completely.

@katiermullen, can you please confirm? Thank you!
