Concept aspect details

All facts have a value for the concept aspect. The concept aspect reflects the element that is used to express fact values. Ideally, this would also be able to reflect substitution group and/or XLink relationships between concepts. Perhaps such complexities are best left to more sophisticated variants of the concept aspect. What you want is to be able to filter facts based upon the concepts at the top of a heirarchy and to get all facts that have a concept aspect value that is within the aspect value subtree specified by that higher-level concept.
