merge disease (OGMS_0000031) and disease (DOID:4)

[wdduncan]

The definitions for disease (OGMS_0000031) and disease (DOID:4) are the same. We should only use one of the classes.

This is a good point. For DOID, does the disease mean 'human disease' only?

As far as I can tell, DOID's definition of disease is not restricted to only humans. If we want/need, we can (of course) make a "human disease" specific class.

@lynn Schriml ***@***.***> Lynn, please clarify if DOID's disease includes non-human disease. Thanks, Asiyah

Hello Asiyah, the DO term 'disease', DOID:4, is not specific to any organism. The ontology, Human Disease Ontology, only includes human diseases. Previous discussions with OGMS - agreed to keep it agnostic of organism, thus to enable reuse, and to avoid proliferation of: organism name - disease OGMS adopted the DO's 'disease' definition, but created a new ID for the term. OGMS used to xref the DOID:4, but looking again, it no longer has the xref. Based on all of this, I believe you can merge the OGMS and DO terms. Cheers, Lynn
