Ontology foundation for specification #219

Open jakebeal opened 5 years ago

jakebeal commented 5 years ago

We are setting up to generate all of the specifications for glyphs in SBOL Visual from machine-readable ontology entries, which will enable assurance of: 1) tool usage of glyphs is always kept in sync with the specification, and 2) full programmatic support for glyphs as soon as they are adopted.

Can we do something similar for the SBOL data, in which the hand-written portion of the specification is only information at the meta-level, while the class descriptions and verification rules are organized via an ontology?

This has the potential to greatly simplify the maintenance of libraries and tools.

@jakebeal does it need to be discussed or can we just close it now? or move the milestone to 3.0.1?

jakebeal commented 4 years ago

Move it to 3.1, I think: I doubt this will happen in time for 3.0.1
