Hi @masciam

For natural traits/attributes such as "volume of " we'd recommend OBA. But this seems more like the volume of a piece of equipment, so out of scope for uberon? Can you say more about the use case?

@cmungall This is not an equipment. This is a term used in radiation oncology and it refers to:
Due to its unpredictable physiologic motion, the Small bowel contour is usually titled ‘bowel bag’ or ‘bowel space’ during radiation treatment planning, which typically defines the space within the peritoneal cavity that the SB may potentially occupy. The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) endorsed this definition in a recent consensus statement for delineating organs at risk in the female pelvis.

I think it a belong to anatomy ontology and despite the name is really referring to the space as you see from the definition I found see the link above.
I hope that this clarify
Thanks
