UBERON:0000949 endocrine system uses obsolete GO:0050886 endocrine process

[raymond91125]

Uberon term
UBERON:0000949 endocrine system

Suggested revision of logical definition
'endocrine system' EquivalentTo 'non-connected functional system' and ('capable of' some 'endocrine process')

GO:0050886 endocrine process is to be obsoleted because it is ill defined.
geneontology/go-ontology#17084
Perhaps change LD to something like (per obophenotype/cell-ontology#1706)
'non-connected functional system' and 'capable of' some ('hormone secretion' and ('has target end location' some 'circulatory system'))

I agree with the LD that you propose, since looking at this comment, 'endocrine hormone secretion' and 'regulation of endocrine secretion' are also planned to be obsoleted.

Uberon has a problem with this LD because it is in obo format, and I might have to split it in Subclasses:

I will bring this ticket to the Uberon call.

Hi @raymond91125,
In the Uberon ontology call (21/08/23) it was decided that this term doesn't need a logical definition. Instead we can use a hidden GCI by adding SubclassOf 'part of' some 'endocrine system' to 'endocrine cell', which have a LD EquivalentTo 'native cell' and ('capable of' some ('hormone secretion' and ('has target end location' some 'circulatory system'))).
Do you agree with this solution?

The GO term used (hormone secretion) is stable so we are good. Thanks.
