Hi Randy

A quick comment on the ontology. I believe that the use of acronyms as =
term
names should be avoided if possible. The OBO format allows for the use =
of
synonyms and I believe that the acronyms should be placed there, with =
the
full name as the primary term name. In other ontolgies that I have seen,
this is common practice. The mzData/analysisXML files will not have the
definitions and some of these acronyms, taken out of context, quickly =
become
meaningless.=20
