GO citation

When citing GO, it would be best to refer to AmiGO- AmiGO is an 'official' product of GO, EBI is not related. Sort of like citing information about Texas from a website made by Iowa. http://amigo.geneontology.org/amigo/term/GO:0005615 would be the right source but I don't know exactly how to cite it on this page. As stated on http://geneontology.org/page/go-citation-policy#GO_Data, please include the file version or DOI for any GO definitions- this is on the bottom of AmiGO pages ( DOI 10.5281/zenodo.1899458; Last file loaded on 2018-12-02). The Ontology is more or less a living being and some parts are expected to change between releases.

Also, the important info that is cited as the "GO definition" is mostly from ISBN:0198547684, this may be a more appropriate source. The GOC (GO Consortium) should be cited for the Comment: "Note that for multicellular organisms, the extracellular space refers to everything outside a cell, but still within the organism (excluding the extracellular matrix). Gene products from a multi-cellular organism that are secreted from a cell into the interstitial fluid or blood can therefore be annotated to this term."

I edited out the "database" bit because it's the GOC that makes the ontology, the database is just where it's accessed.

Thank you all!

I don't see why extracellular needs its own article. It can be a category in cell.
Anyone agree? --Brazucs (TALK | CONTRIBS) 16:35, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

:I disagree. I don't see why it needs to be combined. Cburnett 01:12, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
