[Annotation] [Biocurator] possible data submission at publication model

[Judith Blake]

Alan,

We do not expect authors to understand or be able to easily pick the 
right term from an controlled vocabulary such as the GO.  Their 
colloquial terminology will, we think, be pretty easily interpreted by 
trained curators who are biologists skilled in the use of bio-ontologies.

The primary and highly useful aspect of this approach is the indexing of 
the paper by taxon ID and geneID.  This is a royal hassle for curators 
to have to do and something the authors should have at hand.
