I would have preferred to include Requirements, Permissions, and Prohibitions as separate components, but I don't think that it is feasible based on what I am seeing in the dbGaP agreements. The dbGaP data use limitation (DUL) codes mix permissions and prohibitions in the same code. For example, the Health/Medical/Biomedical code (HMB) by definition excludes research on ancestry. So, it is both a permission and a prohibition. DUO is carrying this pattern forward from DUL. I experimented with a scheme that would separate codes like this into their parts, but it did not look good. Furthermore, I don't think that DATS should be parsing items that it receives from other sources.
This will probably get sorted out by more detailed ontologies, like ADA-M. But I think that it is better for DATS to use a broader component that includes all three types.
