Request for 'termReplacedBy' annotation for deprecated terms in NCBITaxon

[Anoosha-Sehar]

Hi, I am Anoosha, and I work with Damion on FoodOn FoodOn ontology. Recently, we came across a few outdated taxon entries that are still linked to older terms in NCBITaxon, but these terms have been deprecated. It’s been a bit tricky to figure out what terms should replace them.

I wanted to check if it would be possible to add a "termReplacedBy" annotation for deprecated terms in the NCBITaxon.owl file. This would make it a lot easier to spot which terms are no longer in use and what they’ve been replaced with. That would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Anoosha

@anitacaron would you want to look into this? Else, we would have to find another volunteer to see if that information is readily available in

ncbitaxon/Makefile

I can have a look on this.
