Suggestions to improve the flow and incremental complexity

To follow-up on our train discussion post https://git.rwth-aachen.de/clavellab/workshop-biometadata-04 @mmagel

Incremental example

The idea would be to use the Otter example data as a thread throughout the course. We could add incremental changes to the paragraph in order of increasing complexity:

  1. date in ISO format
  2. species name and taxonomy ID
  3. Ontology terms
  4. Annotations in Europe PMC (optional)

Reorganization

Perhaps it would be best to have the ontology definition (https://git.rwth-aachen.de/clavellab/workshop-biometadata-05/-/blob/b94ae902c40694cfa31fd20489308d47a53b1b0c/lectures/ontologies-for-biological-data.qmd#L64) AFTER the exercise on Show us the features of an ontology (https://git.rwth-aachen.de/clavellab/workshop-biometadata-05/-/blob/b94ae902c40694cfa31fd20489308d47a53b1b0c/lectures/ontologies-for-biological-data.qmd#L243)

In that regards, the term "feces" UBERON from the example could be used as a thread as well, to keep things specific and consistent.
