MOTIVATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting with release 55 of Ensembl we provide an
ensembl_ontology_NN database. It replaces the older ensembl_go_NN
database which used to be loaded straight from the public table
dumps provided by the Gene Ontology group (and hence weren't really
an Ensembl database to start with). The older ensembl_go_NN
database also had an external Perl API associated with it which
often made working with GO terms in Ensembl slightly awkward, or at
least more cumbersome than what it needed to be.
Starting with release 55 of Ensembl we provide an ontology database
called ensembl_ontology_NN (where 'NN' is the number of the
release). It replaces the older ensembl_go_NN database which used
to be loaded straight from the public table dumps provided by the
Gene Ontology group (and hence weren't really an Ensembl database to

Perl API associated with it which often made working with GO terms
in Ensembl slightly awkward, or at least more cumbersome than what

The new database, and its associated native Ensembl Core API, is an
attempt to make it
simple
to work with ontology terms in Ensembl.

The database also contains Sequence Ontology (SO) terms even though
these are not yet cross-referenced or otherwise used by Ensembl.
