I wrote the material in the OBO Foundry piece, and it is taken from my website http://ontology.buffalo.edu/smith, which is an educational website of the University at Buffalo, with no commercial content or intentions. Phismith 08:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)phismith@buffalo.edu[reply]

a TYPO -- or other error[edit]

The version I was looking at[edit]

This comment is "as of" (and hence 'about' or 'relative to') the Latest revision as of 00:47, 13 April 2020" version of the article.

The [sub-] section "OBO_Foundry#Have_textual_definitions" has only 2 sentences, and contains a "ref" tag for footnote number "[13]".

The error that caught my attention[edit]

The second sentence of that [sub-] section contains the [non-] word "arfimations" (perhaps a TYPO -- or some other error ... such as a misspelling).

I was pretty sure that there is no such word (spelled that way). For example, I checked https://www.onelook.com/?w=arfimations&ls=a and my first guess -- (the word "affirmations") -- was exactly the same as the first guess (of three) offered by that ["onelook dot com"] web site.

Just to be sure, I checked the web page at the URL http://obofoundry.org/principles/fp-006-textual-definitions.html -- which is the URL that the link of [from] footnote number "[13]" points to.

The reliable source there, did not contain the word "affirmations", but it also certainly did not contain any character string similar at all to << "arfimations" >>.

What I intend to do about it[edit]

If there are no comments here within some reasonable time, (or if there are some comments, but none of them convince me to change my mind), then I intend to change "arfimations" to the word "affirmations", in the second sentence of the above-mentioned [sub-] section of the article. But first,

Any comments?[edit]

Thanks for listening. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 06:13, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike Schwartz: It was a typo, thanks for noticing. TiagoLubiana (talk) 13:14, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved: Case Closed[edit]

A minor edit was done to fix the TYPO.

'Thanks', to TiagoLubiana (talk) for responding -- and for including a "{{ping}}", for me.

IMHO we can now consider this to be

Resolved

– "case closed"

Merger from Open Biomedical Ontologies[edit]

Hello,

As discussed here and here, I am merging Open Biomedical Ontologies to this, as there seems to be a consensus on the matter.
