ChEBI Ontology | Auto description for some molecules.

Checking the old code for the generation of the ChEBI.owl file, we realized that there are some compounds' descriptions auto-generated taking into account the formula and the immediate is-a parent. This is just a fragment of the function writeDefinition() in the OBOExporter.java file:

if (!StringUtil.isNullOrEmpty(formula) && !StringUtil.isNullOrEmpty(isAParentS)) {
   String def = null;

   if (isAParentS.equals(compound.getAsciiName())) {
       def = "A member of the " + isAParentP + " that has formula " + formula + ".";
   } else {
       def = getArticle(isAParentS) + isAParentS + " that has formula " + formula + ".";
   }
}
