Most NS entities currently have a primary wormbase identifier (accession, e.g. gene WBGene00160843) and a display identifier (public name, e.g. Cbn-tufm-1.2). However, in scientific literature, genes (and other entities) are often referred to using alternative identifiers and names.
These names are collected together into an “Other names” list attribute in AceDB, but are not currently captured in Datomic. The Datomic names service would be a convenient mechanism for recording and tracking these additional "Other names", so support for other-names should be added (to the Datomic Names Service).
