Discuss how to handle "Alternative Titles; symbols" marked as 'formerly'

Overview

There are some OMIM entries where the values in "Alternative Titles; symbols" are marked as 'formerly'. In the curation call, these values were described as previous names/labels for the OMIM entry. We should discuss how this is being modeled in "omim.owl" and if/what changes are needed to properly represent these as synonyms in Mondo.

Examples: MONDO:0006493, MONDO:0005769

Handling this will be for the next phase of the Synonym Sync project.

See https://omim.org/entry/101000?search=FORMERLY&highlight=formerly

OMIM:101400 mimTitles.txt Alternative Title(s); symbol(s): MACULAR DYSTROPHY, CONCENTRIC ANNULAR, FORMERLY; MCDCA, FORMERLY;; MACULAR DYSTROPHY, BENIGN CONCENTRIC ANNULAR, FORMERLY; BCAMD, FORMERLY

OMIM:101400 mimTitles.txt Included Title(s); symbols: SAETHRE-CHOTZEN SYNDROME WITH EYELID ANOMALIES, INCLUDED;; BLEPHAROPHIMOSIS, EPICANTHUS INVERSUS, AND PTOSIS 3, FORMERLY, INCLUDED; BPES3, FORMERLY, INCLUDED

I saw today that Sabrina said:

Mondo, we still keep this name as a synonym because users might still search using this name, but also it is the name used in older publications.

When the PR for #118 is complete, these will be added verbatim as synonyms.

Question:

[x] 1. Do we want to remove , FORMERLY from the title in the same way we are doing for , INCLUDED?
[x] 2. Unlike "included", we do want to add "formerly" cases as synonyms. However, do we also want to apply any of the same treatment we are giving to "included"? Replacing "included" below with "formerly" for these cases? i.e.:
- i. Special annotation: OMIM_CLASS mondo:omim_included SYNONYM
- ii. Comment entry: rdfs:comment "This term has one or more labels that end with ', INCLUDED'." ;

FYI I also updated examples above, showing how this looks for 1 case of "alternative titles", and 1 case of "included/other" titles.

Do we want to remove , FORMERLY from the title in the same way we are doing for , INCLUDED?

yes please

Unlike "included", we do want to add these as synonyms. However, do we also want to apply any of the same treatment we are giving to "included"?

No, I think keeping them as synonyms without any other information is good. It is possible that "previous name" in OMIM is still a current name in another group. So let's keep it simple and just add the "formerly" as simple synonym with no additional information

for the 'formerly' terms in Mondo, I think we usually deprecate them (although it does not seem like this is done consistently), for example:

for the 'formerly' terms in Mondo, I think we usually deprecate them (although it does not seem like this is done consistently),

@nicolevasilevsky in the example you added I see both 'formerly' synonyms marked as RELATED DEPRECATED. What is not done consistently?

not all of the synonyms that have (formerly) in the name have been deprecated, is what I meant. I think it makes sense to deprecate them all, as they are no longer used.

Ok, so any value found in a source, e.g. OMIM, that would be added as a synonym to the source and therefore added to MONDO as a synonym should have:

the ', formerly' or 'formerly' removed from the synonym value
be marked as both RELATED and DEPRECATED

I see now an example of where this was not done (in addition to ~duplicate synonyms, which is a different problem):
