Revision of definition of "memory" (GO_0007613)

Open matentzn opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

I am trying to consolidate relevant ontologies that model anything related to cognition and behaviour, such as Mammalian Phenotype, GO, MFOEM, Drosophila Phenotype and more.

Based on probably the same misunderstanding you faced when building the model for "memory" (GO_0007613), I created a ticket asking for a revision of the definition in GO itself (https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/14913), but they convinced me to come to you. For the sake of creating a consistent model of learning and memory across ontologies, would you consider to rework your definition (treating memory as a disposition, and therefore a BFO:continuant, rather than a process, as was the intention by the GO term?

I would certainly approve of a change along these lines BS

Is there any person who would be allowed to make such a decision? I wouldn't mind taking care of the redefinition, but I would need access to the repo.

@jannahastings should be able to give you access. Otherwise fork and make a pull request. We should probably discuss moving this repo to a more general org. Perhaps obophenotype?

Hi, sorry I'm coming to this discussion a bit late; feel free to fork and make a pull request, although I can also make changes on your behalf, do you already have a proposed definition?

@dosumis do you want to have a coffee some time to catch up and talk about this?
