Re: [Obo-discuss] db prefix for ncbi taxonomy?

[Chris M. <cj...@fr...>]

Hi Aaron

Some of the translations in the OBO Download Matrix are experimental,  
including the NCBI taxon one.

You're right in that the GO-sanctioned IDspace for this resource is  
'taxon'
http://www.geneontology.org/cgi-bin/xrefs.cgi

(this may change when the IDspace directory migrates to becoming a  
shared GO/NCBI/UniProt resource)

I chose NCBITaxon to reflect the source (NCBI are not the only source  
of organismal classification taxons - but let's not get into that  
now) and also to reflect the fact that the identifier for an OBO/OWL  
class has information structured in a different way than the source  
records.
