Add preferred root term annotation property #222

Closed matentzn closed 4 years ago

matentzn commented 4 years ago

This introduces a new annotation property for annotating ontologies with preferred root terms. This can be exploited by ontology browsers such as OLS or ontobee to improve the tree rendering of an ontology. The main use case is to be able to mark up key root classes that are often far down the hierarchy (under BFO terms) and expose them to the interested user.
