Confusing bit from about Foundry page #1549

Closed alanruttenberg closed 3 years ago

I was looking at this trying to see how the various definitions of foundry differed from each other.

Here's the current version, with the bit I'm bring to attention bolded. Looks like a type mismatch.

The mission of the OBO Foundry is to develop a family of interoperable ontologies that are both logically well-formed and scientifically accurate. To achieve this, OBO Foundry participants follow and contribute to the development of an evolving set of principles including open use, collaborative development, non-overlapping and strictly-scoped content, and common syntax and relations, based on ontology models that work well, such as the Operations Committee with Editorial, Technical and Outreach working groups.

As written, the Operations Committee with Editorial, Technical and Outreach working groups are instances of ontology models that work well

Does it mean to say ontology management models that work well? Or does ontology models mean patterns and the such as Operations committee... missing a leading phrase? If the second sense it probably needs a bit of editing to make it flow better.

@alanruttenberg you are quite right, thanks for pointing this out. looks like some old and new text got munged together. i am on vacation this week but can take a look when i get back, or maybe @nicolevasilevsky can work out what this text was meant to say?

The intended text is linked from issue #241, in the document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_XwrUSGx8aGBIZ6fPXGxpilyfJGIKAP01izAbVpFIcM/edit

The missing piece--that should go between 'the' and 'Operations'--is:
