Hi a few comments on the EFO parts of this. best Helen > Generally I like the data model, seems intuitive to me.

EFO only uses namespaces from a subset of ontologies, mostly those which are either OBO foundry approved, or in the process of this, or where is a lack of orthogonal ontologies. For disease we have many terms from many different sources, and so we cross reference rather than use namespaces as there is no single authoritative source (in our opinion). We have replaced namespaces programmatically in the past, so we could provide this code if this is of interest, or we could consider a release with DO terms namespace if this is of general use, though this probably would not be our production release. > Regards, > Christoph > -- Helen Parkinson, PhD Team Leader Functional Genomics Group EBI EBI 01223 494672 Skype: helen.parkinson.ebi
