Propose changing the label on the NCBI top level term to 'NCBI root'

Open cooperl09 opened this issue 7 years ago • 7 comments

In the Planteome project, we have found an issue since the NCBI top level term is called "root" and it conflicts with our PO term root (PO:0009005) in Protege, and looks weird on the AmiGO browser, .

Suggest that we need to add a modification of the NCBI top level term, which in NCBI is called "root" to be 'NCBI root'. I have contacted them and asked them to change it at their end, but they won't as we are the only ones who it is an issue for, apparently.
