Example: the terms “leukocyte”, “leucocyte” (spelling variation”) and “white blood cell” (layman’s term) all refer to the exact same concept (a specific cell type) and would be considered exact synonyms.

2. Terms that may refer to other concepts, especially within the biomedical domain, should NOT be annotated as exact synonyms, including abbreviations. A synonym that is an abbreviation should be annotated using `has_related_synonym`and with property type “abbreviation” (technically: the synonym annotation assertion axiom should itself be annotated with a `http://www.geneontology.org/formats/oboInOwl#hasSynonymType` property with value `http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/cl#abbreviation`).
2. Terms that may refer to more than one concept, especially within the biomedical domain, should NOT be annotated as exact synonyms, including abbreviations. A synonym that is an abbreviation should be annotated using `has_related_synonym`and with property type “abbreviation” (technically: the synonym annotation assertion axiom should itself be annotated with a `http://www.geneontology.org/formats/oboInOwl#hasSynonymType` property with value `http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OMO_0003000`).

Example: “WBC” can stand for “white blood cell” and refer to “leukocyte”, but within the biomedical domain it can also represent “white blood cell count” or, perhaps less frequently, “whole-body counting”, two distinct concepts with separate OBO ontology terms.
