Milestone
We've had a bunch of requests for deprecated or obsolete terms in Babel:
Note that in some cases (e.g. MONDO) deprecated terms can point to a non-deprecated term that replaces them, while in other cases (e.g. UMLS) there does not appear to be a clear mapping to a non-deprecated term.
Should we add deprecated terms to Babel? If we do that, we will need to mark them in some way so that we can ensure (1) that deprecated terms are never used as the primary identifier of a clique, and (2) so that NodeNorm and NameRes can warn users not to use deprecated terms.
This issue is to discuss whether this would be useful, what changes would be necessary in NodeNorm and NameRes to support them, and how we should go about including them.
