Editors discussion items

Phagocytosis versus endocytsosis

• phagocytosis versus endocytsosis

Asserted classes versus logical definitions

Example: mRNA phosphatase activity is_a pyrophosphatase, not a phosphatase

Procedure to mark terms to be obsoleted

• This would give curators and editors of ontologies using GO a way to know which terms are scheduled for obsoletion
• There is a property that we can use

Test new process to when obsoleting terms with taxon constraints

• Use GH actions ? Pascale to test
