Term Maturity levels, public opinion period, and conflict resolution: We will define the process for community vetting of proposed terms. For example, proposed new terms will be shared with the community for their comments before promoting the terms to the next maturity level (e.g. “proposed”, “provisional”, “mature” or “obsolete.”). The goal is to garner community agreement on what will best balance currency of information delivered to clinical settings with robustness of knowledge and ease of evidence interpretation.
[x] formally document our current worklows to be more explicit and something we can point to on the RPPR, include examples, such as obsoletion process (give example of removing term from obsoletion candidate because someone needed it)
[ ] workshops involving the community (especially experts) to discuss terms and branch review; Moni has been talking about having a Mondo, NORD, CZI workshop to teach people about Mondo and use of HPO and Mondo. The point person is @monicacecilia.
Proposed idea:
add "reviewed date" (or something similar) on terms when they are reviewed by the community (e.g. during workshops) and are vetting to remain.
Low priority
ontology branch review (priorities to be determined) (We will not prioritize branch reviews at the moment.)
