I'd like to first try the change I originally made. This change will make it harder to read.

- OBO: Use the `consider:` tag with the value set to the CURIE(s) of the relevant term(s): `consider: OBI:0001544`

Note that some older implementations in OWL used the CURIE method as shown below, but this is not preferred.

```
<oboInOwl:consider rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">OBI:0001544</oboInOwl:consider>
```

<i><b>To obsolete a term, the ontology developer</b></i> MAY:

1. Prepend the string "OBSOLETE. " (this precise string, including the space) to the term definition. NOTE: This MUST be implemented consistently. That is, if applied at all, it has to be applied to every obsoleted term definition.
