Despite the name, GO synonyms are not always 'synonymous' in the strictest sense of the word, as they do not always mean exactly the same as the term they are attached to.
Instead, a GO synonym may be broader or narrower than the term string; it may be a related phrase; it may be alternative wording, spelling or use a different system of nomenclature; or it may be a true synonym.
The synonyms found in GO and their relationships to the term string with which they are associated are available as a text file.

In developing a navigation scheme, the first option, synonym control, means that you will choose the best, most consistently clear and unambiguous labels available for the content to which the user will navigate.
Synonym rings are often used to create some degree of control over a set of content items tagged using their “natural language.” By natural language, also called “keyword searching,” we refer to the situation where you use the uncontrolled language of documents for indexing, and then search using your own unrestricted vocabulary.
Synonym control is also the first step in creating a controlled vocabulary for tagging content items.
