Hi folks

I'm looking to sanity check my understanding of the re-use of terms between 
taxonomies, glossaries, other assets and ontologies in EDG.

If I understand the EDG documentation correctly:

   - glossary terms can trace to other terms via the "traces to" property - 
   ok and have this working
   - glossary terms can be mapped to another data asset type by the "maps 
   to term" property - ok and have this working

But I'm unclear on how to re-use glossary terms (in a bidirectional) way 
with taxonomy.

   - adding a taxonomy to the includes of a glossary doesn't bring the 
   concepts in.
   - adding a glossary to the includes of a taxonomy also doesn't bring in 
   terms in the opposite direction.

I'm guessing a result of the import rules between the two model ontologies.

Sure, the taxonomy can be exported as a spreadsheet and imported into a 
glossary but this seems against the grain and disconnects the two assets.


   1. So.... is there a recommended approach or workflow to develop 
   glossary, taxa and other asset types ?  e.g. begin at glossary, add some 
   shapes??, import/include to taxonomy and then consume in other assets 
   2. Is there a direct way extract/annotate/use shapes/magic 
   properties/transform taxa and glossaries to inter-operate with each other ?


Finally, regarding ontologies and asserting classes as skos concepts I've 
done some reading, gone down the rabbit hole and come back out with the 
understanding that avoid to messy and un-intended entailment issues this 
type of assertion is to be avoided.

So leaving class and skos assertions behind:

3. how then does one re-use the labels from a glossary or taxonomy when 
developing ontologies ? It seems manual to me so far unless I'm missing 
something.

4.Can existing taxa or gloss labels be made available to pick at the time 
of ontology class, property and attribute creation ?


Once an ontology is created, I assume but haven't got on to testing, that 
cross walks and/or EDG search can perform some entity matching and 
recommendation. Hence hopefully close the loop back to gloss or taxa terms. 
Is this right ?

Many thanks in advance !

Simon
