No annotations should be made to uninformative high level terms |
Proposed |
soft |
|
Some terms are too high-level to provide useful information when used for annotation, regardless of the evidence code used.
We provide and maintain the list of too high-level terms as two subsets in the ontology:
- gocheck_do_not_annotate "Term not to be used for direct annotation"
- gocheck_do_not_manually_annotate "Term not to be used for direct manual annotation"
Both subsets denote high level terms, not to be used for any manual annotation.
For inferred electronic annotations (IEAs), we allow the use of terms from the gocheck_do_not_manually_annotate subset. These terms may still offer some general information, but a human curator should always be able to find a more specific annotation.
