Slot: preferred_term

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.
