Project description

Currently, the only information that can be carried by the GPI format is whether or not an identifier exists. We need to be able to QC and triage items in this window and optionally do automatic updates when possible of merges, track splits and withdrawn identifiers.

The mile-high problem here is that the SoT for identifiers is the resources/MODs, but the annotation/model SoT is GO Central. This introduces a lag and non-automated cleanup that was not previously an issue.

From @cmungall data dictionary as linkml; maybe @sierra-moxon can help with finding the right properties and making the schema

@kltm proposes to have a proposal for the next GO meeting

[kltm]

Talking to @cmungall , from ontology, will propose:

is_obsolete: bool replaced_by: id (merge) n x consider: id (split)

Comment from @tberardini that we may want to consider adding a "date" component to these additions.
