exposure event is a process

[wdduncan]

To align with BFO / OBO core, exposure event should be a subtype of BFO:process (see #57).
In ecto.owl (http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ecto/releases/2019-09-20/ecto.owl), exposure event is a top level term.

exposure event is already a process, inherited from ExO.

[wdduncan]

In the ecto.owl file, exposure event (ExO_0000002) is a top level term. There is also an exposure event or process (RO_0002310) under process (BFO_0000015).

So, I am unsure what you mean by exposure event is already a process, inherited from ExO.

@wdduncan is right, I dont think it is actually aligned right now.. Again a case for EXO.

If they don't respond in one week, contact directly.

This issue hasn't been discussed in while. Since we discussed taking over ExO and/or using COB as the top-level ontology, perhaps we should revisit this.

@cmungall what is the purpose of https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/ontologies/ro/terms?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FRO_0002310

Update after meeting:
Options:

1. remove the RO class exposure event or process
2. make exposure event a subclass of exposure event or process
3. ask RO to change label of exposure event or process to be exposure event
4. just use the RO class exposure event or process and create an alternate label (or skos:prefLabel) exposure event

#4 seems to be the easiest, but we need others to weigh in.

Ideally, we should also try to get exposure event into COB.

@wdduncan will make ticket on RO.

[wdduncan]

I have submitted a ticket to RO to change the label of RO's exposure event or process to exposure event.

See oborel/obo-relations#599

[wdduncan]

Also submitted a ticket to COB.
