Amend Uberon editor SOP about "abbreviation" synonyms.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The Uberon editor SOP is still recommending that synonyms that are
abbreviations should be marked with the synonym type
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/uberon/core#ABBREVIATION.

We have phased out the use of this particular synonym type several
months (maybe years?) ago, in favour of the OMO-defined synonym type
OMO:0003000. So here we simply amend the SOP to recommend using the
OMO-defined type.

Example: the terms “aorta wall”, “aortic wall” and “wall of aorta” all refer to the exact same concept and would be considered exact synonyms. Terms that may refer to other concepts, especially within the biomedical domain, should not be annotated as exact synonyms, including abbreviations.

2. A synonym that is an abbreviation should be annotated as a _related_ synonym and with property type “abbreviation” (technically: the synonym annotation assertion axiom should itself be annotated with a `http://www.geneontology.org/formats/oboInOwl#hasSynonymType` property with value `http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/uberon/core#ABBREVIATION`).

Example: “BA” is a related synonym for both 'basilar artery' and 'bed nucleus of the accessory olfactory tract' at the time of this writing. Additionally, within the biomedical domain, it can also represent 'brachial artery' or 'Bone Age', two other distinct concepts with separate OBO ontology terms.
