GOC meeting minutes v3 query AI 49

Re. Action item 49,

This wasn't quite clear to me, but I might have misunderstood. I'm not 
sure about the wording:

 'Pipes mean intersection (or complex), commas mean union (or a 
collection of possibilities)

I came away with the impression that for IPI the new comma separator 
will mean multiple independent binary interactions (from the same Pubmed 
ID),  and the existing pipe separator will refer to a complex where the 
specific interactor cannot be distinguished.

I'm not sure this is analogus to union and intersect. Isn't the complex 
a collection of possibilities? (i.e. we don't know the specific 
interactor). Also, I thought MGI used IPI for binary interactions but 
action item 50 says "MGI change all pipes to commas" wich also makes me 
think that something isn't quite correct.

We also discussed this syntax for genetic interactions. I have used pipe 
for multiple deletions (in a single strain), is this correct, or will 
this change to comma? I don't remember the outcome.
