Description

Given:

- a TSV where some specified column is ID, and others are mapped to label, category, ancestor etc

Iterate through TSV in batches performing lookup for missing values, using any supporting backend, using most performant batching for that backend

Example use case: a large SSSOM file with no labels or categories. The client must decide which endpoint is best (e.g. bioportal for broad bio-ontologies, wikidata, lov, a local ontology)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's existing CLI commands and ontology backend interfaces; the issue names neither files nor tests. Define the TSV column mapping, batching behavior, backend selection, and output expectations before implementation, then verify enrichment on the large SSSOM example.
