Plans to change the GPAD/GPI version to 2.0 in next GO release #804

Open pgaudet opened 4 months ago

GO Friends,

We are planning on changing the GPAD/GPI format to 2.0, starting with the next release, expected towards the end of July. This change only affects files with the extensions ".gpad" and ".gpi"; files with ".gaf" will remain unchanged. In the lead-up to this version change, snapshots will switch to the GPAD/GPI 2.0 format starting with the next snapshot.

The technical specifications for this change can be found at: https://github.com/geneontology/go-annotation/blob/master/specs/gpad-gpi-2-0.md . This document also includes the list of differences between GPAD/GPI 1.1 and 2.0..

Once the release has been made, the default GPAD/GPI documentation links on the website will be updated to point to the 2.0 version (https://geneontology.org/docs/gene-product-association-data-gpad-format-2.0/), updating from the current 1.2.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the GO Helpdesk at help@geneontology.org or use the helpdesk tracker at https://github.com/geneontology/helpdesk/issues .

Best,

-Seth

After some delays, we now have the updated GPAD/GPI 2.0 files available in our "snapshot" distribution (https://snapshot.geneontology.org/), with plans on making it part of the versioned release this month. If you are interested in the GPAD/GPI 2.0 format change, please check out the preview available in the "snapshot" distribution.
