Obsoletion of XPO:0100068 ! abnormal anatomical region has created several 'orphan' terms.

[malcolmfisher103]

The obsoletion of XPO:0100068 (abnormal anatomical region) has left several terms without a path to XPO:00000000 (Xenopus Phenotype). Perhaps rather than being obsoleted this needs to be part of something equivalent to the Gene Ontology's 'gocheck_do_not_manually_annotate' subset of terms which are required structurally in the ontology but are not themselves appropriate for use in annotation.

See below for the orphaned anatomical region branches.

Which file are you using?

Does not seem to share this problem (i.e. there are no orphaned classes). Are you using http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/xpo.owl and http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/xpo.obo seem fine to me!

But in general I agree, these high level grouping classes should be kept to give some structure; @seger we could create a "do not annotate" template (a table like the obsolete.tsv one) that generates the "do not annotate" annotation for terms like this one!

Created new issue #112 to create a "do not annotate" template.
