* **Contents of Standardization Guidelines document finalized: **The Standardization Guidelines is a document developed to contain suggestions and recommendations deemed too detailed to be included as part of a Principles page. The guidelines currently include (1) Technical Considerations (addressing logical consistency after ontology reasoning, how to indicate ontology root terms, and use of standard synonym types); (2) Content Considerations (addressing preferred sources for imported terms, when to (not) import whole ontologies, and how to use NCIt terms); (3) Release Considerations (addressing the standards for different release types); and (4) Communication Considerations (addressing links to term issues. This document is not yet linked from the OBO Foundry web site, but a pre-release version is available [here](https://github.com/OBOFoundry/OBOFoundry.github.io/blob/master/docs/StandardizationGuidelines.md). \

* **Principle updates clarifying IRIs and resolvability requirements: **Reference to “imported from” was removed from Principle 1. Previously, “imported from” was used to indicate the ontology serving as the direct source of a term import, which could be either the primary (term-maintaining) ontology or an intermediary source. While its use is not prohibited, existing guidance recommending import from the primary source reduces its necessity.

Principle 3 was strengthened to require that the official ontology PURL, after redirection, MUST resolve to the ontology OWL file, and that PURLs for individual terms MUST resolve to dedicated, term-centric pages. These updates reinforce consistent identifier practices and improve reliability of ontology access across the OBO Foundry.
