Description
The Porifera anatomy ontology (PORO) is one of the components that make up Uberon’s Composite Metazoan (CM) product.
For now, PORO is among the CM components that require some special processing, because the ontology has not been updated for 10 years and the latest available version does not meet modern expectations. In particular, its release artefact contains unmerged Import statements that, if they were left as they are, would forcefully inject into CM a 10-years old version of several ontologies (including Uberon itself). So when mirroring PORO, we have to explicitly strip away those import statements.
But PORO is hopefully about to get ”reactivated”, and its build system has already been upgraded to use the ODK. Among other things, this means that the next release will include a proper -base variant. Once that release is available, we will be available to simplify a bit Uberon’s CM code.
