Description

> Hi James/Steven,
> In the common type system/template fillers, do you recall why we
> stored the TextRelation instead of the resolved annotation?
>
> For example, in SignSymptomMention, getBodyLocation() returns
> LocationOfTextRelation.
> So in order to actually get the AnatomicalSiteMention, you would have
> to look inside LocationOfTextRelation arg1 or arg2.
>
> I think it be more intuitive and simpler for consumers of the CEM's to
> just store the AnatomicalSiteMention? Is there a use case I am
> missing where someone would want something different than the
> SignSymptomMention.getBodyLocation() other than the actual
> AnatomicalSiteMention?
