From 2941948352cfc0db8e49c22bffa01f353379b320 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nico Matentzoglu Date: Mon, 3 Jun 2024 15:07:00 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Update principle 3 to make upper case prefix mandatory For a while it was not clear whether upper case prefixes are mandated or merely encouraged for new submissions. We have conducted a vote (https://github.com/OBOFoundry/OBOFoundry.github.io/issues/2596) which clarifies the situation. The decision was that for new ontology submissions, ontology prefixes _must be_ mandatory. --- principles/fp-003-uris.md | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/principles/fp-003-uris.md b/principles/fp-003-uris.md index b1fbb65bb..18bcbd6e5 100644 --- a/principles/fp-003-uris.md +++ b/principles/fp-003-uris.md @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ ---- +image--- layout: principle id: fp-003-uris title: URI/Identifier Space (principle 3) @@ -21,7 +21,10 @@ Each ontology MUST have a unique IRI in the form of an OBO Foundry permanent URL ### Ontology Namespace: -The namespace is a short string of letters (usually 2-5) that represents the ontology.
