Protein complexes

Sandra Orchard is launching a new protein complex portal at EBI as part of InTact, the idea being that it will be the reference db for protein complexes. DB entities will be species-specific so they will still need new GO cc terms. They have a curator, and we've agreed that once she's up to speed (she started a couple of months ago) she will add cc protein complexes directly to GO using TG FF. She'll be annotating her own complex sets (human, E. coli and yeast in the first instance) but I think we should assign the GO tickets for protein complexes to her too.

They're also going to suggest some higher-structure for the GO protein complex node which currently totally flat. This will be functionally-based which I think makes sense.

Sound okay?

As a related issue, I notice we haven't always been adding a part_of for protein complex location. This is more important than I realised and I'm guilty of not adding it too because it can be tricky. Let's discuss

Interactions with CHEBI

I spoke to Janna about the lag issue we have with CHEBI releases. She's very happy to start producing a pre-release OWL version of CHEBI on a regular basis, perhaps nightly. Their OWL representation is non-standard (it has bits missing to reduce its size) but it would be straightforward to translate it into regular OWL if we need it. This can happen fairly quickly - Janna will get back to us.

They're also planning to add a lot more axioms in the fairly near future - they have some disjoints already.

Do we really want this as a template? Wouldn't this be better post-composed as an annotation extension? An InterPro id could go in column 16
