[go] synonym category

[Midori Harris]

Hi,

For SF 1195550, I have added *lots* of synonyms for enzyme activity terms. 
Because these synonyms are all derived from EC (obtained via Expasy), it's 
been suggested that we flag them by creating a synonym category. For the 
moment I've done so in a file in the go/scratch/ directory 
(go_EC_synonyms.obo). Before I put them in the live gene_ontology_edit.obo 
file, I have some questions:

- Will any scripts, e.g. the obo2obo script that generates the 
gene_ontology.obo (1.0 format) file, need to be changed?

- Should we make an announcement on the GO or GO-friends list?

At the last GOC meeting we agreed to use a synonym category to denote 
Obol-friendly "structure synonyms," but that category has not yet gone 
live. The "EC synonym" category would therefore be the first to be added 
to the gene_ontology_edit.obo file.
