CDISC COSMoS Biomedical Concepts (RDF/OWL rendering): Description back to ToC

A mechanical OWL rendering of the LinkML schema CDISC publishes as model/cosmos_bc_model.yaml in cdisc-org/COSMoS: the Biomedical Concept, Data Element Concept and Coding classes, their slots, patterns and cardinality, and the result-scale and data-type enumerations. Class and property IRIs are the ones the published schema declares; this rendering does not rename them.
