[Bioperl-l] Bio::Ontology overhaul

[Paul Edlefsen]

My immediate concern is compatability with Lincoln's proposed 
LocallyIdentifiableI and GloballyIdentifiableI interfaces (already 
checked in on the freaky dev branch).  If there is going to be a unique 
identifier it should, for compatability with LocallyIdentifiableI, be 
called (or aliased) 'unique_id'.  You are proposing that, in TermI, 
'name' be unique and 'identifier' be arbitrary.  Even if you were to add 
'unique_id' as an alias to 'name', the homonymity of 'identifier' and 
'unique_id' would be confusing.
