skos predicates vs xref
We have both skos-based mapping predicates
- https://w3id.org/biolink/vocab/exact_match
- https://w3id.org/biolink/vocab/narrow_match
and
- https://w3id.org/biolink/vocab/xref
We need guidance as to when to use which. I recommend even deprecating xref and forcing people to choose a more precise predicate
(note an orthogonal difference is the range, with the match predicates having a range of namedthing and xref being an iritype - but we can use edges as node properties so this shouldn't be an issue)
See also #210
@kevinschaper - on ingest, do you have enough data to determine the match quality of most xrefs?
