    description: The preferred human-readable term for this descriptor. This may be
      more specific or nuanced than the linked ontology term label when the ontology
      does not fully capture the desired granularity. Note that postcomposition using
      the modifier slot may be appropriate for capturing the semantics of the preferred
      term.

    description: A description of the descriptor. This may typically be redundant
      with the `term` object, but the description is more human-readable and may be
      used to communicate nuances not captured by the rigid standardization of the
      term object.
