Automate disease submission to Disease Ontology #446

Open susannasiebert opened 5 years ago

susannasiebert commented 5 years ago

Right now we don't have an automated way to submit diseases without disease ontology ids to the Diseases Ontology. We should explore how to do this automatically whenever a user creates an evidence item without doid.

I spoke with @lschriml about this, and it sounds like their formal submission process is through GitHub. For automated submissions (i.e. without making the user select a proper place in the ontology), it may be best to submit and collaborate through the GitHub issues API.

In an ideal world, the CIViC app would propose the changes we are interested in as a PR, but I think that properly constructing those changes automatically would be a very challenging implementation.
