OBO Foundry Dashboard compliance

Open DitchingIt opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

According to their newsletter, from January 2024, existing OBO member ontologies will be sorted and promoted/relegated on the Foundry Dashboard according to their level of compliance. Reviewing our current status, we have one critical error, one non-critical warning, and one information item:

Error

We are missing documentation recording our users. We should have no problem indicating new term requests and other engagements with issues by users outside our core (2nd bullet), and use of terms and IRIs on other ontologies (1st and 5th). Can someone offer to record the evidence where the automatic or human Dashboard reviewer will locate it? I have no idea what to do with this.

Warning

We have numerous missing definitions. We do now have a Definition Conventions Reference Sheet #122 which I believes meets the requirements of Foundry Principles 9. I am also beginning to write or rewrite a large swathe of definitions as part of what I'm calling the Ethology module #127. Alongside expected deprecation of the phenotype branch, I hope to make significant headway in the coming year regarding definitions.

Information

Not being a priority, I plan to tackle the problem of non-RO properties in NBO relations 'on the fly' alongside the redefinition initiative above. It may be that someone wants to go through and do a PR justifying removing/amending the 6 offenders but this is not critical.
