During the OBI Core review we tried to clean up the CRID terms. See notes here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Iv5VS8kbOnoQbBTt-FaJU37gK9MXkENm7pHGSk_q4d0/edit?usp=sharing

I think these changes to "CRID registry" and "assigning a CRID" are good. In light of recent discussion on the OBI list, the other two terms might still require work. See: https://sourceforge.net/p/obi/mailman/obi-devel/thread/CAFKQJ8kbsq%2BrVjhDxa_NH9DCq2oFFjpaXfwoWPVR9SEBVSyUaw%40mail.gmail.com/#msg32062647

• IAO_0000579 CRID registry

  • add alternative term: centrally registered identifier registry
  • change textual definition: A data set that consists of CRIDs (centrally registered identifiers) and additional information about their corresponding entities, that were recorded in the dataset through an assigning a centrally registered identifier process.
  • example of use: PubMed and GenBank both have CRID registries as parts of their database systems.
  • change status: ready for release

• IAO_0000574 assigning a centrally registered identifier

  • add alternative term: assigning a CRID
  • change textual definition: A planned process in which a new CRID (centrally registered identifier) is created, associated with an entity, and stored in the CRID registry thereby registering it as being associated with some entity.
  • change status: ready for release

• IAO_0000577 CRID symbol

  • change label: CRID
  • add alternative term: centrally registered identifier
  • change textual definition: A symbol that is sufficient to look up information about the corresponding entity from its CRID (centrally registered identifier) registry.
  • change example of usage: PubMed identifier "PMID:12345"
  • change status: ready for release

• IAO_0000578 CRID

  • change label: centrally registered identifier
  • change status: ready for release

BP thinks. We should go back to old definition which includes that a CRID symbol is part_of a CRID. And include this in both textual and logical def. I would suggest that we should go back to CRID symbol as the label.

BP to verify examples of usage etc. are in sync with this.

Edited all CRID related terms to make labels, examples, curation status etc. consistent. Propose to close this ticket.

Discussed on the OBI/IAO call 2014-05-05. James will make the following changes and close this tracker item.

• IAO_0000577 CRID symbol
  • remove editor note: the new example is more clear than the note

• IAO_0000578 CRID

  • move misplaced axiom from ICE to CRID: has_part some (denotes some 'centrally registered identifier registry')
  • small changes to the text of the example and the textual definition
  • add editor note: "In defining this term we take no position on what the CRID denotes. In particular do not assume it denotes a record in the CRID registry (since the registry might not have 'records')."

• IAO_0000574 assigning a centrally registered identifier

  • change example: should be restricted to assigning the identifier, not associating other information
  • add editor note: Assigning CRIDs is done by the registry (or an employee of a registry) not by users of the registry.
  • change subClassOf to make the symbol the output: has_specified_output some 'centrally registered identifier symbol'

• IAO_0000575 associating information with a centrally registered identifier in its registry

  • change subClassOf to specify input: has_specified_input some 'centrally registered identifier symbol'
