Add information to CAFA group entry to better explain provenance of CAFA annotations #1013

Open cmungall opened 5 years ago

cmungall commented 5 years ago

At a meeting with @balhoff some of the participants are using GO and are confused by the fact they are getting assigned_by=CAFA annotations for human etc. They googled CAFA and learn it is about prediction and are even more confused since this should presumably be non-experimental evidence, and all the CAFA annotations we have are IDA and other experimental types.

I believe the story is that these annotations were funded by CAFA and done by normal uniprot-goa curators, used for evaluation. We retain CAFA as assigned by to give credit to the CAFA group for supporting the curation.

This is our current entry for CAFA https://github.com/geneontology/go-site/blob/1a70a5d7d62305a9cb9ea3fe60b441061ce3dc6c/metadata/groups.yaml#L317-L320

The link is technically problematic as the https certificate has expired, but more problematically it doesn't really describe where the annotations came from.

I suggest that we change to URL to a link on our wiki that explains explicitly the curation process and/or we include a comment field (may require extending the schema) with text. @vanaukenk @pgaudet seem reasonable?

Also checking with @kltm @dougli1sqrd that these get loaded into the rdf store

@ggeorghiou Since you handle these annotations, I'd like to know how you'd like us to proceed.

Thanks, Pascale
