this error occurs when consulting the ontology

[benjami...@clarivate.com]

This is a very old thread, but I came across the issue unexpectedly recently. In the past, I saw the error when I was missing annotations (those previously found in intialTBoxAnnotations.n3) but that wasn't the case this time. I wasn't able to get to the core cause of the problem, but an easy workaround is to pass a default empty string to the getItemType macro, e.g. <@getItemType mst!"" "organization"/>. I have created an issue (https://github.com/vivo-project/VIVO/issues/3612) and companion pull request (https://github.com/vivo-project/VIVO/pull/3613).
