<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I simply noticed that we and other MODs were displaying the root term strings with the "_" in them. It's not a big deal..just looks odd. It seems like software & ontology development practices are impinging upon the user experience in an undesirable way. Ideally, (and perhaps naively) it seems like root terms should be detected in some way other than by checking their name strings, and though root terms are special term cases, they are still just terms in the ontology and thus should not have '_' in them. The presence of the "_" means special handling must be added to remove the "_" to get a sensible display. <div><br></div><div>It's a very minor issue, and it does not sound like the disruption it would cause is justifiable at this stage.</div><div><br></div><div>-Doug</div><div> <br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div><div><br></div></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br><div><div>On Jun 4, 2009, at 11:45 AM, Judith Blake wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div> <font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">I think this was basically a ‘consistency’ call.
