As a point of reference, the OBO id policy is documented here (currently google docs, soon on obofoundry site) https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0Acx6Blq96uycZHpwcm5td18wZGtkMmdiZ3Y&hl=en FWIW, "OBO Foundry candidate" isn't an official designation, though it is often used descriptively by projects that have asked for review. -Alan > > Christoph > > [1] http://www.obofoundry.org/cgi-bin/detail.cgi?id=disease_ontology
