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

The version I was looking at

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

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

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?

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

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

Hello,

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