Cellular & (non-cellular) metabolic processes

[pgaudet]

Hello,

I am creating a fresh ticket for the work started in #17904

We have decided that all the chemical metabolic processes are cellular processes, so the following terms need to be fixed.

• if there is a corresponding 'non-cellular' term, the term should be obsoleted and replaced by that 'non-cellular' process term.
• if there is no corresponding 'non-cellular' term, the term label, definition and logical definiton should be fixed to the non-cellular forms.

Also, if there are asserted classes, these should generally be removed, unless they provide information that is not being inferred. Usually the ChEBI hierarchy should infer all parents that are needed.

Note that this would result in many terms that are clearly cellular moving out of the cellular hierarchy.

In 2019 I proposed a simple solution of placing metabolism under CP.
#17904 (comment)

The alternative is to get rid of CP altogether. Having a grouping class that is highly incomplete is confusing.

Sounds good. I dont think we want to get rid of cellular process - that's very central to @thomaspd 's BP reorganization.

I moved 'metabolic process' under 'cellular process', see #28932

Thanks, Pascale
