If consuming applications have to use term mappings then this will make them much harder to write, and in some cases might make it impossible to integrate some 
information.  This might only be a problem for code that is trying to integrate data across websites, but this is an important use case.

At least for mandatory properties and types, and major profiles (gene, protein, etc.), I would like to see pre-agreed IRIs, rather than free choice or emerging 
consensus.  In some ways, I don't think this is so different from what we are doing with DataCatalog, Sample, TrainingMaterial, etc.
