Talk:OBO-Edit: Versioning Proposal
Deployed ontologies vs editors ontologies
What about ontologies such as SO and GO that have for-public versions and editors versions?
In the case of SO, the semantic content of the two are the same (so-xp and so). The latter has reasoner-impliable links realized.
In the case of the GO, the for public version may be mildly semantically impoverished (e.g. dropping of disjoint_from tags), but is still essentially the same ontology.
My feeling is that all these 'versions' or 'exports' of the ontology should have the same version. Thus we should strive to call these 'exports' (or something similar) so as not to be confused with true versions.
