Download should include gene symbol (bioentity_label) by default

[krchristie]

This past week I was using AmiGO to download annotation files. I see why this is happening, but I find it very annoying that the default download does NOT include the gene symbol.

I don't really object to hiding the gene ID on the web display, but if translating the first column that is really the ID into the gene symbol on the web display, and then not having the column for gene symbol results in NOT including the gene symbol in the download file, I'd rather have the ID in the web display too, so I don't have to add the gene symbol to the download file EVERY time I make a download.

In addition, the first time I did this, it was a bit difficult to figure out the correct column to add. Thus, I think that this might be really frustrating to users.

Here's more details to illustrate what I mean:
The AmiGO web display shows these columns with this type of info in the first two columns, i.e. the gene product ID is NOT shown on the web page, but is instead translated into the gene symbol.

Gene/product = Arx
Gene/product name = aristaless related homeobox
Annotation qualifier
GO class (direct)
Annotation extension
Contributor
Organism
Evidence
Evidence with
PANTHER family
Isoform
Reference
Date

However, when you go to download this, you now get this info, where the gene symbol is not missing from the download file.

1 - Gene/product (bioentity): MGI:MGI:1097716
2 - Gene/product name (bioentity_name): aristaless related homeobox
3 - Annotation qualifier (qualifier): [blank]
4 - GO class (direct) (annotation_class): GO:0044241
5 - Annotation extension (annotation_extension_json): "{""relationship"": {""relation"": [{""id"": ""RO:0000057"", ""label"": ""has participant""}], ""id"": ""EMAPA:32764"", ""label"": ""EMAPA:32764""}}"
6 - Contributor (assigned_by): MGI
7 - Organism (taxon): NCBITaxon:10090
8 - Evidence (evidence_type): IMP
9 - Evidence with (evidence_with): MGI:MGI:3803178
10 - PANTHER family (panther_family): PANTHER:PTHR24329
11 - Isoform (bioentity_isoform):
12 - Reference (reference): MGI:MGI:5426506|PMID:22387004
13 - Date (date): 20130724

What I would really want in a download file would be this, with BOTH the gene ID and the gene symbol (using same column number as above to facilitate comparison).

1 - Gene/product (bioentity): MGI:MGI:1097716
=> - Gene/product (bioentity_label) Arx
2 - Gene/product name (bioentity_name): aristaless related homeobox
3 - Annotation qualifier (qualifier): [blank]
4 - GO class (direct) (annotation_class): GO:0044241
5 - Annotation extension (annotation_extension_json): "{""relationship"": {""relation"": [{""id"": ""RO:0000057"", ""label"": ""has participant""}], ""id"": ""EMAPA:32764"", ""label"": ""EMAPA:32764""}}"
6 - Contributor (assigned_by): MGI
7 - Organism (taxon): NCBITaxon:10090
8 - Evidence (evidence_type): IMP
9 - Evidence with (evidence_with): MGI:MGI:3803178
10 - PANTHER family (panther_family): PANTHER:PTHR24329
11 - Isoform (bioentity_isoform):
12 - Reference (reference): MGI:MGI:5426506|PMID:22387004

Bumping. Noting that this was also brought up in geneontology/helpdesk#457 . I see that the main downloads do have this included, but the sub-downloads (i.e. term page "Annotations") does not.
