Some terms are too high-level to provide useful information when used
for annotation, regardless of the evidence code used.

We provide and maintain the list of too high-level terms as a subsets
in the ontology:

-   gocheck\_do\_not\_annotate "Term not to be used for direct
    annotation"

This subset denotes high level terms, not to be used for any manual
annotation.
