- Some ontology browsers make use of an ontology-wide annotation property, 'has ontology root term' (IAO:0000700), that governs how the hierarchy is displayed. This helps shield users from having to navigate through not-specific-enough parent terms (such as BFO:0000040 "material entity"). To enable this feature, an ontology SHOULD specify one or more appropriate root terms like so:

- NCIt term use - If an ontology developer wishes to create a term with a label that already exists in NCIt, the following apply:
2525
- If the NCIt term definition and hierarchical position are reasonable, that term SHOULD be used instead;
2626
- If either the NCIt term definition or the hierarchical position are sub-optimal, the developer MAY create a term in the ontology with an identical label but with a revised definition and subclassing; alternatively such a term MAY be requested of another ontology, if appropriate;
2727
- For case (b), if the definition is based on the NCIt definition, the new term MUST be linked to the original NCIt term to conform to the [NCIt license](https://evs.nci.nih.gov/license) requirements. Note: this does not apply to reuse of term labels.

3232
- **base** (REQUIRED; denoted by PURL ending with ONT.owl): Content includes only terms that are owned by the ontology, which include (a) terms using that ontology's prefix; and (b) any terms with a different prefix that are now maintained by that ontology. It does not contain any imports. It does, however, retain references to external ontologies within axioms as needed for definitions and reasoning. Such references, when displayed in Protege, will appear as identifiers only; that is, without labels. Finally, the base will have had reasoning already applied and will be stripped of redundant axioms. QUESTION: WILL THIS APPLY TO A SPECIFIC REASONER?
3333
- **full** (REQUIRED; denoted by PURL ending with ONT-full.owl ): Content is as for **base** except that all referenced external terms (that is, are present (that is, imports are merged into the **full** release).
3434
- *other release artefacts* (OPTIONAL; denoted by PURL ending with ONT-<artefact_type>.owl): These include **non-classified**, **simple**, **basic**, and **simple-non-classified**. See the Release Artefacts link above for details on these.

- ***DONE*** Any term (or set of terms) with an affiliated issue tracker item (term request or term discussion) SHOULD be linked to the relevant issue(s). Such linking SHOULD use the annotation property 'term tracker item' (IAO:0000233) and SHOULD NOT use a free text comment. The range for 'term tracker item' MUST consist solely of an IRI, without additional text, and the IRI MUST be for the issue tracker item.
