GO annotations into GFF3

Hi, I would like to add GO term into the GFF3 and I found the following mapping file (goa_uniprot_all.gpa).

gpa-version: 1.1
!
!This file contains all GO annotations for proteins in the UniProt KnowledgeBase (UniProtKB).
!
!It also contains all annotations for protein complexes, identified by ComplexPortal identifiers,
!and for non-coding RNAs, identified by RNAcentral identifiers
!
!Columns:
!
!   name                  required? cardinality   GAF column #
!   DB                    required  1             1

UniProtKB       A0A000  enables GO:0003870      GO_REF:0000002  ECO:0000256     InterPro:IPR010961              20200808        InterPro

However, I do not understand the difference between GO:0003824 and GO_REF:0000002. Which one should I choose for our GFF3 file?

Thank you in advance
