Adding ID ranges to COB

[matentzn]

Is this the way to obtain an ID for COB if you have to make a PR yourself?

I guess I have no objection.

I don't use idranges in my projects, but I haven't been putting in the work to manage this project, so do whatever you think best.

How do you usually tell people which ids to use?

[jamesaoverton]

OBI uses a Google Sheet, some projects have a "find next ID script", and other projects have few enough contributors that it's not a big problem. CI tests prevent duplicates.

I recognize the problem that idranges solve, and that it's a working solution, I just think it's kind of ugly. But I haven't been doing the work to manage this project, so I don't want to push any other solution, and I don't want to stand in the way of people doing work.

I think claiming some "next id" in a google sheet is also a great solution, in particular for an ontology like this one where there are ideally only a few classes.. I am happy to switch any time!
