Abstract

This SEP proposes renaming the displayId property of Identified to simply id in SBOL 3.0.

  1. Motivation

The displayId property is very confusingly named, as it is not intended to be displayed (unlike the name property). Newcomers to SBOL are likely to assume displayId should be visible to users, or worse be explictly displayed in place of the name.

  1. Specification

The following property will be renamed:

  • displayId to id
  1. Backwards Compatibility

This is a simple property name change and will be performed with the other breaking changes in SBOL3.

  1. Discussion

5.1 Related SEPs
