The fact that we're in JSON makes me want to have much more structured information. I would request you rename a couple fields that actually aren't descriptive, and add a few.
- what's currently called
identifierwould better be calledpurl - add a field in each entry called
prefixthat says from what namespace the entity is (see Use standardized prefixes when possible #11) - add a field in each entry called
identifierthat actually points to the database identifier
In practice, the snippet from above would become:
{
"causalStatement": [
{
"source": {
"purl": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CHEBI_17489",
"prefix": "chebi",
"identifier": "17489",
"name": "3',5'-cyclic AMP",
"biologicalActivity": {
"purl": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0034237",
"prefix": "go",
"identifier": "0034237",

}
},
"effect": {
"purl": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MI_2236",
"prefix": "mi",
