Comments

  • This is actually mapped to CHEBI:molecular entity (CHEBI:23367), from which we just copied the definition into our description. We did so to be able to reuse the label Chemical Entity. We do not use (ignore) the chemical entity class from CHEBI as this is only a grouping class, and chemical entity is rather that which constitutes a chemical substance
  • There was the issue with theoretical chemist postulating chemical entities that are not physical existing --> write/ask in the OBO or BFO discuss list?
