Mapping unique GO term description given a specific GO ids

library(biomaRt)
mart <- biomaRt:::useMart(biomart = "ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL", dataset = "drerio_gene_ensembl", host = "asia.ensembl.org")  

v1 <- c("GO::0009055","GO:0016020","GO:0016491","GO:0006122","GO:0008121")

go_list <- biomaRt:::getBM(attributes=c("go_id", "name_1006", "namespace_1003"),
              filters = "go",
              values = v1,
              mart=mart, uniqueRows = TRUE)

so it is likely the "v1" that should not be in quotes

head(go_list)
        go_id                                                   name_1006

when search filters option is used searchFilters(ensembl, pattern = "GO") . We get the above filters (ensembl, pattern = "GO") name description 12 with_go With GO ID(s) 13 with_goslim_goa With GOSlim GOA ID(s) 58 go GO ID(s) [e.g. GO:0000003] 59 goslim_goa GOSlim GOA ID(s) [e.g. GO:0000003] 183 go_evidence_code GO Evidence code.
