Deprecate MiAIRR field names as a separate entity: We have maintained
a split between MiAIRR field names (which are human readable) and
DataRep/Schema fields (which serve as unique and unambiguous keys)
for the last two years. Given the recent decisions on
Set 6/Rearrangement and the fact that everything is now represented
in a single schema, this split appears unnecessary (#380).
Results of OntoVoc Sprint 04/2020: The OntoVoc team had several
in-depth discussions on how to make an ontology's concept IDs/IRIs
interoperable between repositories. The suggested solution is the use
of Compact URIs ("CURIEs"), which look like NCBITAXON:9258,
where the prefix (before the colon) is the substitute for the longer
and typically invariable part of a concept's IRI. This would also
allow repositories to resolve to different IRIs, depending on the
their preferences (#385).
