Switch all `term_browser: ols` PURLs to OLS4 #920

Closed matentzn closed 1 year ago

matentzn commented 1 year ago

Background:

  1. OLS3 (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/index) is no longer maintained and will be switched off on the 30th October
  2. OLS URLs like https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/ontologies/go/terms?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FGO_0098743 will be forwarded to OLS4 (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/ontologies/go/classes?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FGO_0098743) on the 30th October
  3. A lot of new terms are no longer resolving to OLS (because they are not updated in OLS3)
  4. The PURL resolve to pages that show outdated content

I would like to propose to switch the OLS redirect to OLS4 obo-wide now, instead of waiting until end of October, to avoid the churn coming with the additional communication of "why does this IRI not resolve" etc.

Good explanation!

My proposal is to update the PURL generation code here to point to OLS4: https://github.com/OBOFoundry/purl.obolibrary.org/blob/2689416a5bc7a1e82d7196243eeff0b6587a0dff/tools/translate_yaml.py#L311

So all ontology projects that set term_browser: ols in their PURL config will switch to OLS4 with that change. (Then we can clean up some specific configs.)
