[Go] Spliceform column in GAF [was Re: [Gofriends] Redundancy in go_XXXXXX-assocdb-tables/dbxref.txt]

[Chris Mungall]

[redirected to GO]

The change Mike speaks of is for the new spliceform column in the GAF.

I have specced this out here:

	http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/GAF_Spliceform_Column_Proposal

Note that most of you will have read the previous document describing  
current practices for annotating alternate spliceforms:

	http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Annotation_of_Alternate_Spliceforms

But you won't have read the fully formulated proposal, as I only put  
it on the wiki today.

Note that this proposal was ratified at the SLC GOC meeting, but the  
majority of the discussion was at the RefG portion of the meeting.  
It's particularly important that folks who weren't at this part read  
and understand the proposal. Ratification at the GOC meeting may have  
been premature as I only intended to sketch out a solution  
collaboratively at that meeting.

Once the above wiki page is in shape, we should send an announcement  
to gofriends (promptly, as it is of relevance to the current  
discussion below), all data providers and consumers, and then after  
that in the newsletter and on the main GO docs.

As Mike says we are aiming for a introduction some time in 2009. It's  
important that anyone involved with producing GAFs is aware of the  
changes and is OK with this timetable.

Cheers
Chris
