@cyang0128 Thanks for the submission. Will add to next Monday call's agenda.

Discussed on OBI/IAO Nov. 9, 2020 call. Note that study limitations are defined as "A part of a document about biases or short comings related to the study design and execution." so would not be disjoint. Could be a subtype.

Hi @cyang0128, I added the terms you request to a tab-delimited format file with some minor edits following OBO Foundry recommendations. Could you please review the document rows 3 - 8?

Thanks!

[cyang0128]

Dear @zhengj2007, thanks a lot. I have checked the rows 3-8, everything is fine. I agree and thanks for your work!

[zhengj2007]

Thanks @cyang0128. I will add the terms in the IAO and let you know when the new release is made.

The new terms are available in release 2020-12-09.
