Possible duplication of CHEBI terms IN FOBI namespace

[kaiiam]

Hello FOBI development team, as I'd mentioned to @ddooley I was looking over FOBI the other day and I noticed that there are some examples of FOBI terms which might be duplicative of existing CHEBI terms.

For example FOBI:Fatty acid esters seems like it might be a duplication of CHEBI:fatty acid ester. Just for reference it's encouraged practice within OBO ontologies, (obo principal 5) to reuse existing terms when possible. If so perhaps you could import such chebi terms and then insert them into your existing hierarchy? I can see the need to have a slightly different top level hierarchy than CHEBI, but if there are correspondences with CHEBI then perhaps you could be reusing CHEBI terms themselves?

Just thought I'd point it out, hope it's helpful and perhaps something to consider moving forward.

Cheers,
Kai

I'll note that Pol and I set up a big CHEBI import file https://github.com/pcastellanoescuder/FoodBiomarkerOntology/blob/master/imports/chebi_import.owl that brings alot of biomarker chemicals into FOBI, so well aware of principle 5. But Pol, I recall the remaining chemicals were problematic in some sense?
