[Go] 1 year limit on IEAs

[Harold Drabkin]

Jim,  if I'm not mistaken (someone from UniProt chime in please) , the 
IEAs from UniProt are based on the translation files (ec2go, ip2go and 
spkw2go) based on information in a uniprot record (ec#, domains, 
keywords). These change  frequently; sometimes domains get added  or 
removed, or the translation files change (mappings that are suddently to 
recently obsoleted terms, eg.) and so the IEAs go stale, espeically 
after 1 year. We update daily. I would really worry if they were older 
than 1 month,l et  alone a year.
