Align to BFO via UBERON?

[pbuttigieg]

Greetings FAO,

We'd like to import some of your classes into ENVO, but they dangle uncomfortably off the top level.
Could fungal structure be placed under UBERON's anatomical structure?

Also, would it be possible to define that term? Based on composite structure, this could read:
"A multicellular formation composed of cells from one or more species of fungus."

actually, it would go under the CARO class See this for a related discussion https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=uberon

I think this is the ticket I meant to link to geneontology/go-ontology#13898

A problem with the proposed new definition for 'fungal structure' is that it can consist of a single cell (see FAO: 0000018 'unicellular structure') that is the sole relevant species. The new term, 'multicellular structure' should be created as a sibling to 'unicellular structure' under 'fungal structure 'and defined as consisting either of "more than one cell of a single species" or of "cells from more than one species," the latter being a 'composite structure').

'fungal structure' FAO:0000001

• 'unicellular structure' (aka 'cell') FAO:0000018
• NTR: 'multicellular structure' (examples: sporophore, conidiophore, sporocarp, etc)
• 'composite structure' FAO: 0000002

Thanks, Diane
