Modification: Computational Neuroscience as child of Physics #71

Closed Drosophilic closed 1 year ago

Drosophilic commented 2 years ago

What are you changing?

May I recommend a review of the Computational Neuroscience tag. Currently it is a child term of Physics, which, while true to the definition provided, results in a number of purportedly inaccurate annotations appearing when searching FAIRsharing with this tag.

For example, a search for repositories annotated with the SRAO term 'Physics' returns, among other hits, this: NeuroImaging Tools and Resources Collaboratory (NITRC)

Annotated with the following SRAO terms: Bioinformatics, Computational Neuroscience, Neuroscience

This seems at first to led to some spurious search results. I have certainly had to discount it in my work.

Why are you suggesting this change?

To increase the utility of annotation of records in FAIRsharing.

Definition

I would suggest a tweak to the definition to remove the mention of Physics.
