Overview
Externally managed content
Externally managed content is content that is provided by trusted providers and is merged in unreviewed. Currently, we support three types of externally managed content:
- Preferred names / labels. If a partner organisation of Monarch has a certain preference for a name this can be recorded as part of the metadata.
- Cross-references and linkouts. Partner organisations can provide cross-references and linkout to important resources related to a disease.
- Subsets. Partner organisations can provide subset information to Mondo. This is used in a variety of ways, such as:
- NORD declares which diseases it consideres "rare"
- Open Targets declares which diseases are used for their drug-prediction framework
Typical workflows
- External provider provides a TSV. (Ideally they use the same template that NORD uses - see
src/ontology/external/nord.robot.tsv
). - We pull it in and turn it into a ROBOT template and transform it to owl.
