Map relations to RO ids to be used in OWL translation.

[balhoff]

This will make EMAPA more compatible with other OBO ontologies, by using relations from RO in its OWL file. This also eliminates problematic relation IRIs that don't resolve (see INCATools/ubergraph#102).

I would very much love to see this PR accepted!

@balhoff
Sorry but it is not quite clear to me what this merge would entail.
Specifically, what changes would be made to the EMAPA file itself,
and what effect would this have on the OBO formatted file that our database uses?

[balhoff]

Hi @tfhayamizu, it would just add these xrefs to the OBO file: https://github.com/obophenotype/mouse-anatomy-ontology/pull/125/files

I wouldn't expect that to have much, if any, impact on your database, unless you're using an OWL parser.

It would be great to have this merged. I can guarantee it won't break anything on the MGI side. This will vastly improve how EMAPA looks in browsers that follow standards like OLS (right now EMAPA looks like a flat list which is not a good advert for your work!). I think bioportal too (can't check right now, it's down).

I suspect this will also improve things on the Alliance side as well, if the new curation tool and ontology browser is following standards.

Definitely for GO too

I think someone might have to send an email to Terry!
