Description
Current Problem:
-
Parent taxon information is currently not directly accessible in the taxon term details.
-
To obtain parent details, users must make a subquery, such as https://wwwdev.ebi.ac.uk…_id%253D19710013/parents formated as
OLS_API/[Ontology]/terms/[current_term_IRI]/parentsorOLS_API/[Ontology]/terms/[current_term_IRI]/hierarchicalParents -
This limitation leads to excessive API calls, especially when trying to rebuild a local version of the taxonomy or analyze hierarchical relationships.
Proposed Resolution:
Include a parent_ictv_id field directly in each term's description, except if the term is_root. The best location for this information still has to be determined but annotations can be a consistent location as well as a specific hasParent relation indicating the ictv_id of the parent term within the same ontology.
