Modeling Foundations

This section provides a foundational understanding of key principles and patterns applied in the VA-Spec, which should be reviewed before digging deeper into the documentation:

1. The Hierarchy of Classes in domain-agnostic VA Core Model.

2. The Data Structures that can be built using these classes, to support different use cases and levels of variant knowledge.

3. The Role of Propositions in VA Statement and Evidence Line Models.

4. The Profiling approach through which domain-specific schema are derived from the Core Model.
