Hi Trish,

it looks like the terms I requested to be added to OBI from BRO have been imported.

Erik has been working on some definitions and they are posted to this tracker item:

Thanks for the information. Were these imported maintaining the BRO identifier?

In addition, some of these terms already have definitions in BRO, e.g. Calorimeter, CT Scanner. There are proposed definitions for other BRO terms. If someone from your group would like to review and discuss these definitions that would be great!

Thanks,

Trish

Hi Trish,

It appears that they were imported.

Is there a place where we can look at proposed definitions? I am not seeing any specific definitions in bioportal, only references to Wikipedia. This is fine of course, but it would be better to have a definition within BRO itself. Erik is the person on our team who has been working on instruments, he's created proposed definitions for the terms imported into OBI. As for the others, they are in both places, so if they are made interoperable we will have to reconcile their definitions.
