Phenopackets do not allow for representation of provenance of key data elements #448

Description

@bpow

The ability to represent per-element provenance of things like VariantInterpretation and Diagnosis are limiting with respect to how we've considered using phenopackets to store/transmit ClinGen-curated evidence.

For example, I am hesitant to include a VariantInterpretation which a ClinGen biocurator has abstracted from the literature because, in the absence of proper attribution the presence of this data in a ClinGen-produced phenopacket could easily be misinterpreted as ClinGen making an assertion of the pathogenicity of this variant.

Other elements that represent "judgement" could also arguably need the ability to represent provenance/attribution-- for instance, GenomicInterpretation, Diagnosis.
