Deprecate ENVO:alga replaced by PCO:alga excluding Cyanobacteria?

[kaiiam]

@ramonawalls in PopulationAndCommunityOntology/pco#58 created the new term: alga excluding Cyanobacteria to replace envo: alga. Also xref EcologicalSemantics/ecocore#100.

Unless @pbuttigieg has any objections, should we precede to deprecate and replace by?

[cmungall]

I don't think this belongs in either

[kaiiam]

@cmungall should this be in COB instead?

[cmungall]

no, it's not upper level.

In GO we mint a taxon_union namespace which is terrible as it doesn't resolve

we need a new namespace and sync this with ncbitaxon releases and use the go union patterns

[kaiiam]

I'd be interested in trying to help with this effort @cmungall can you direct me to these go union patterns?

[cmungall]

obophenotype/ncbitaxon#45

[cmungall]

anyway, deprecate in envo and close this for now

[kaiiam]

@cmungall perhaps we can deprecate in ENVO once we have something to replace it by. I'd prefer not to leave downstream projects without a term in the interim.

[pbuttigieg]

@kaiiam agreed, also agreed it's a strange one.

Let's deprecate and add replaced by as you suggested.
If there's downstream work to do in deprecating those, it can happen in PCO/ECOCORE

[kaiiam]

Following @pbuttigieg's suggestion for now will be possible once PCO has made it's next release @ramonawalls please let me know when you do so, such that I can import it here.
