Re: DefinedTerm vs CategoryCode

Hi Melanie,

I see now how this would not be the best approach for you.

Regarding the crawler, talk as well with Ricardo. I think he has already 
crawled BioSamples.

I understand defined terms to be a mechanism to provide a finite list of terms to be used in our profiles - which is why I thought they’d be a good way to define “protein” “samples” “gene” etc - the 20 or so entities we are using throughout. I don’t think they’d be suitable for a list of unknown terms as we obviously wouldn’t want to have a dictionary of millions of terms (in addition to them already being hosted by OLS for example)

We have deployed the bioschemas markup on the BioSamples samples, and are now adding a context to link the sample entity to the corresponding OBI term - similar to what was done for protein and PRO. It seems to be working fine at the moment.

If Samples mark up is already in use and tools are working fine with CategoryCode, I guess it would be better to stick to it.
