I am with Satoshi-san, @holysheng, and we are trying to find a term to identify the section of his consent form which explains the compensation participants are entitled to when they provide samples. For example 500 Yens for a blood sample.
I didn't see anything for this in ICO, can you help?

Hey Dr. Courtot,

I think the entity you are likely looking for is 'description of conditional compensation' (ICO_0000274). The specific instance of 'description of conditional compensation' that talks about the 500 Yen for a blood sample will be a part_of a particular 'informed consent form'. Such an entity describes "the conditions under which compensation is due to some agent"

There is another way to do this if you want to talk more directly about the benefit itself. This is to use the term 'description of participation benefit' (ICO_0000190). This way you'd be talking about the 500 Yen, because such an entity "describes potential benefit or estimates the likelihood of benefit."

But a form might often have both entities, depending on the level of granularity you are interested in. For example, some 'informed consent form' (this form) has_part a 'description of conditional compensation' (If we draw a blood sample from you, we will compensate with 500 Yen) and has_part 'description of participation benefit' (500 Yen is a benefit to the participant)

If this is unclear at all, I'm happy to help.

P.S.
The entities mentioned above are in an anticipated release.
