has_evidence_information
A relation that directly connects an assertion and an evidence item that contributes to one or more of its evidence lines. This evidence provided by this item may support or dispute the target assertion.
This relation can be used to link an assertion directly to evidence items that support it. Evidence items are typically organized into 'evidence lines' that group them according to the argument(s) to which they contribute. This shortcut relation supports use cases where it is desirable to elide over this level of organization and create direct links from an assertion to the fundamental pieces of information that represent evidence supporting it.
A property chain (has_evidence_line o has_evidence_item -> has_evidence_with_item) is defined that can be used to infer this direct edge, facilitating interoperability between data sets that do and don't implement evidence lines to organize evidence items.
