Clarification - RE: Summary of discussion

[Michael Ashburner (Genetics)]

I think I mis understood on the taxon names.
I was refering to annotation files, eg. in this go file
of SWISS-PROT annotations the identity of the species is indicated by
its taxon id in the final column:
SP	O00115	DRN2_HUMAN		GO:0003677	PUBMED:9714827	TAS		F	Deoxyribonuclease II precursor	IPI00010348	protein	taxon:9606


I think you mean the name after a (sensu ....).  If so, I would agree that
the taxonomic name should be used. Indeed (and I may suggest this to GO)
that this should be in the form:

sensu <Genus species cultivar etc> <authority>; taxon:<taxon_id_int>
