New report check: versionInfo

Open matentzn opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

The OBO versioning principles:

http://www.obofoundry.org/principles/fp-004-versioning.html

Recommend that ontologies publish owl:versionInfo alongside our version IRIs. We should add a simple report check for that; its super quick, so I don't have any performance concerns adding it.

Make opposition known! :)

Would it make sense to also check that the versionInfo value is a substring of the version IRI?

Is that always the case though? @jonquet seems to disagree.. https://github.com/OBOFoundry/OBOFoundry.github.io/issues/771#issuecomment-440543928

I interpret his comment as agreeing. :-) I don't think the substring relationship is any kind of defined feature of these properties, but might be a good convention for OBO ontologies.
