Identify single source of truth for organ names #73

Open mccalluc opened 2 years ago

mccalluc commented 2 years ago

This issue is more about information gathering: Code would need to change in the API when a source for organ names is identified.

I'm getting two letter abbreviations from search-api, expanding them out using a mapping from a markdown file borrowed from another repo and resolving some of them (like Right Kidney and Left Kidney both to Kidney). I've been trying to stay harmonized with other HuBMAP efforts on this, but I agree that finding a way to enforce that harmonization would be good. I think there was some discussion a while back of a microservice which would resolve from two letter abbreviations to full organ names from a shared vocabulary. Do you remember that/know if anything came of it?
