Assigning a preferred prefix #170

Open cthoyt opened 3 years ago

cthoyt commented 3 years ago

Now that there's a technical solution for storing preferred prefixes in the Bioregistry (#166 and #169) , there are few remaining things to discuss:

  1. We need some guidelines on when/how people should add preferred_prefix annotations
  2. Should we bulk import all OBO Foundry entries that implicitly just the OBO Foundry prefix, but capitalized (e.g., ones that omit the preferredPrefix field?)

Note on the second point - the OBO Foundry now requires all entries to annotate a preferred prefix, which gets propagated in the OBO Foundry import. Its still possible to override these, e.g., for entries like NCIT that have a corresponding ontology in OBO Foundry but aren't really OBO ontologies in the way that they're used
