Re: [OBO-Edit Working Group] Expanding OE dictionary for GO

[Jennifer D. (n. Clark) <jd...@eb...>]

Hi,

Following up on my spelling check yesterday, I have now committed other 
useful files for verification checking.

I ran through the whole verification check on my copy of OBO-Edit and 
added all the repeated words, all the words that are allowed not to be 
capitalized at the beginning of a sentence, and all the words that can 
include full stops within them. These three classes of word are saved in 
separate files in the config directory, and I have added the three files 
to the OBO-Edit svn repository. I have also attached the files here so 
that people can request additions or deletions.

The repeated words list is a bit long just now, because the verification 
check currently also catches words that are repeated on either side of 
the end of a sentence, which is not really what was intended. For 
example where a definition says 'x process terminates in flowering. 
Flowering is process in which' then this is also picked up.  We only 
intended it to catch repeated words like 'a a' where someone has 
accidentally typed a word twice, and to ignore things like 'kinase 
kinase' where we genuinely intend to repeat the word twice. Therefore 
the file of acceptable repeated words should really just include words 
like 'kinase' that ought to be repeated, but I have included words like 
'flowering' that are currently repeated across the end of a sentence, 
just to avoid us all having to click through the verification process 
each time. This is just a stop-gap solution until the feature is added 
to take ends of sentences into account, but if anybody objects to this 
approach we can discuss it further.

Let me know if you want me to add or remove anything.

Thanks,

Jen
