Qualifiers in braces?

[psiotwo]

Synonyms are appended with their type qualifiers ((narrow), (exact), etc.), e.g.

obo:TO_0000074 oboInOwl:hasExactSynonym "blast disease resistance trait (exact)"

or

obo:TO_0000074 oboInOwl:hasNarrowSynonym "blast disease susceptibility (narrow)"

In my application I need the raw literals so I have to postprocess these literals and remove these qualifiers. In general I find a good practice to leave the labels simple without additional information and leave it upon the client to construct denormalized textual content based on the use-cases (e.g. for some full-text-search solution), so I was wondering what is the rationale behind publishing the ontology with these qualifiers?

Or maybe is the raw literal available somewhere else that I didn't notice?

Thanks.
