Description
Uberon term
Multiple terms.
For example, https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/ontologies/uberon/terms?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FUBERON_0013528 (and other Brodmann area terms).
Bug description
There are several instances where the same synonym is used as both an exact synonym and a broad synonym for the same term. There are also instances where a synonym is annotated as both an exact and related synonym. For example, see UBERON_0013528 Brodmann (1909) area 11:
In this case, the repeated synonyms probably should only be related to the term with the has_exact_synonym relationship.
These examples were discovered by spot checking and may represent a global issue of duplicate synonyms.
