Dear ARO curators, My name is Anoosha. I would like to submit a request, to add a couple of terms to the ARO ontology. I need these terms as a part of the AMR-GRDI project I'm currently working on. Thank you.

Hello Anoosha,

Thanks for reaching out! The ARO is generally a collection of genetic elements and compounds (and associated data) related to antibiotic resistance, such as resistance genes/mutations, antibiotics, etc. So the ARO probably is not the best place for entries such as surveillance systems and organizations. However, these terms may be worth including in CARD. I can run the idea of a separate Surveillance or Standards ontology to the rest of the CARD team, but even if we do construct a new ontology for such terms, it is unlikely we will have anything ready for the next release.

Thank you,

Keaton Smith Developer Assistant CARD Junior Curator & Help Desk

Hi Anoosha, looking closely we should be able to add these to the terminology branch of the ARO. We will look into this and get back to you shortly.

Anoosha-Sehar commented 2 years ago

Hi @agmcarthur Sure, that would be great. Thank you so much both of you for looking into it.

smithk63 commented 2 years ago

Hey Anoosha,

Both these terms have been added to the terminology branch of the ARO. You should be able to view them after our update before the end of month.

Thanks!
