GO Vs Traits

[Raymond Lee]

let me see if i can clarify (or muddle) the issue.

in the case where,

%Jump (sensu nematode); GO:2000000001
definition: to spring into the air

%Jumping (sensu nematode); ICIS:200000001
definition: the 'ability' (measured by the height) of a nematode springing
into the air upon a burst of sound at 10,000dB. (note: it's been reported
that these critters have terrible hearing!)

clearly,

GO:2000000001 describes a biological process, whereas ICIS:200000001 a trait.

one can say that the two MAY be related. furthermore, the existence of a
%Jumping trait does not guarantee the correspondence %Jump in GO but
the converse is probably always true (at least it can be made so).

the relationship between a trait and a GO term can only be contemplated
on their clear definitions.
