Confusing attributions in imports

Open cthoyt opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

On the MeSH ontology page, there are several ontologies listed that it imports from (screenshot below):

  • OMO
  • DCTERMS
  • PATO
  • RO
  • OHMI
  • OIO
Image

It doesn't make sense that PATO and OHMI are listed here - these are definitely not used by MeSH.

The screenshot above shows the property list, where hasRelatedSynonym (which itself is from OIO) appears to be listed with PATO, RO, OHMI, etc.

I would consider this a bug - I don't think it makes sense to have a whole list here, but rather just to show the defining ontology. I am guessing that these are propagated upwards and are therefore attributed to the whole ontology.
