Generate membrane component branch dynamically using design patterns. #7

Open dosumis opened 8 years ago

dosumis commented 8 years ago

This is a pilot project for the dynamic, automated generation of GO branches that have a completely regular structure.

Aim: All membrane component terms in GO should be specified as a table with columns for ID, design pattern, filler (in this case a membrane type), subsets, def_dbxrefs.

All terms added in this way should be visible to ontology developers. They should be flagged in some way (using a subset tag?) to make it clear that they should not be edited (any edits will be discarded when terms are generated). Editors will still be able to make relationships TO auto-generated terms (although that may not be necessary in this branch).
