Post-composition coding strategy. Elements of the compound description are specified by the string of linked pentagons on the left hand side of the figure and specific examples given for three observations which taken together are indicative of foreign body pneumonia. Tissue terms are taken from the appropriate anatomy ontology, eg. MA, Process from MPATH, character, topology, distribution and severity from PATO. The combination of observations defines the disease foreign body pneumonia.
