• Scope of GO. We have had a series of term requests from someone who works for the Ontology Adverse Events (OAE) who is using GO to annotate the action of specific chemicals (drugs), see [1]. These processes are probably (but not necessarily) also carried out by proteins so we could probably add the terms on that basis, but the question is more general: to what degree do we as a project support this type of 'non-standard' annotation? And if not in GO, where else does it live? [Jane & David]
