"synonym" show both exact and no-exact synonym #368

Open sabrinatoro opened 1 year ago

sabrinatoro commented 1 year ago

The synonyms shown on a term page include both exact and non-exact synonyms, and there is no indication on which one is exact or not. This is confusing and misleading.

For examples: Alzheimer disease : "Alzheimer disease, familial" is a "narrow synonym" in Mondo, and should not be considered exact

hemangioma : 'angioma' and 'benigh angioma' are 'related synonym' and should not be considered exact.

Proposal:

369

Any progress on this? Synonym scopes are used broadly by many OBO ontologies - GO, Mondo, Uberon, ENVO, CL, ...

OLS shows axiom annotations on mouseover which is great, but the actual predicate is 100x more important for most people!!

Also I think this is unrelated to 369 which can be closed.

Thanks for resurfacing this! Very important indeed!

Any progress on this? It would be a very useful feature.

Bumping the importance of this again, I have a lot of discussions with curators that are confused by this!
