Modifier

As the name implies a Modifier modifies an Event, and is typically an adjective which precedes a noun or noun phrase.

Modifiers serve two primary use cases:

1. To specify the state of a Condition or other Event not including severity.
2. To indicate that a Name (e.g., Condition-Name) is split into multiple spans separated by Or.

Trigger

• If indicating state, annotate phrases such as chronic or untreated.
• If indicating that a Name is split into multiple spans, annotate each part of the Name.

Examples

_{Example of a 'Modifier' for 'untreated'.}

---

_{Example of 'Modifiers'. 'alcohol' and 'drug' modify the 'Condition-Name'.}

Arguments

• Modifies - An Event which the Modifier modifies in some way.
