[bioontology-support] The option 'includedefinitions' in Search services?

[Trish Whetzel]

Hi Dan,

Yes, the 'includedefinitions' parameter should have an effect. For example searching with the term biological process from GO
returns the term definition:
http://rest.bioontology.org/bioportal/search/?ontologyids=1070&query=biological_process&isexactmatch=true&includedefinitions=true&apikey=YourAPIKey

There appears to be a bug in returning the definition for terms in EDAM, which has been reported for the developers to investigate further.
