Lifestage

[seltmann]

How should the life stage be incorperated in a data record? Ticks go to different hosts depending on life stage.

[jhpoelen]

you can use:

sourceLifeStageId | sourceLifeStageName
targetLifeStageId | targetLifeStageName

with life stages from UBERON or other vocabularies / ontologies (e.g., https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/ontologies/uberon/terms?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FUBERON_0007023) . See also https://github.com/globalbioticinteractions/template-dataset .
