Add formal deprecation policy #25

Closed allysonlister closed 1 year ago

allysonlister commented 1 year ago

We need a formal deprecation policy, e.g. the steps to take in the spreadsheet to show that a term has been deprecated / made obsolete and may or may not be merged with another.

allysonlister commented 1 year ago

Right now, the process I just did was:

  1. Prefix definition of term (column d, "IAO:0000115 AL definition@en") with OBSOLETE.
  2. If merging with another term: Copy any relevant properties / annotation to the term that will remain.
  3. Add a comment to the deprecated term stating which other term it is redundant with, or another appropriate comment for why this term is being deprecated. (column L)
  4. set owl:deprecated (column M) to 1 (true)
