[Psidev-pi-dev] How stable is the psi-ms.obo URL?

[Ville K. <vi...@ma...>]

Dear list,

before moving to GitHub, the psi-ms.obo file's URL was

http://psidev.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/psidev/psi/psims/mzML/controlledVocabulary/psi-ms.obo

The URL appears in a number of mzIdentML example files, of course, as
well as the 1.1.0 specification document. But the current URL is now

https://github.com/HUPO-PSI/psi-ms-CV/blob/master/psi-ms.obo

Should newly exported mzIdentML files use the new URL or keep the old
URL? How stable is the new URL? For example, in October 2015 the new
URL was

https://github.com/HUPO-PSI/mzML/blob/master/cv/psi-ms.obo

but that's of course now dated.

Or does it make any difference what URL is output in the mzIdentML
file? The mzIdentML 1.1.0 specification for the <cv> element states the
uri attribute is the "URI of the source CV", but doesn't say whether
this is for the usual namespace purposes (uniform resource
*identifier*) or for the reader of the file to locate the .obo file
(uniform resource *locator*). If it's a true URI, is there a table
somewhere that records what URIs each type of CV should have?

Regards,
Ville
