Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Chris Mungall (cmungall) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: WWF biome Initial Comment: I don't think WWF biome is a good term for an OBO ontology ./ ENVO:00000428 ! biome [DEF: "A major class of ecologically similar communities of plants, animals, and other organisms. Biomes are defined based on factors such as plant structures (such as trees, shrubs, and grasses), leaf types (such as broadleaf and needleleaf), plant spacing (forest, woodland, savanna), and other factors like climate. Unlike ecozones, biomes are not defined by genetic, taxonomic, or historical similarities. Biomes are often identified with particular patterns of ecological succession and climax vegetation."] ..is_a ENVO:00000446 ! terrestrial biome [DEF: "A biome that applies to the terrestrial realm."] ...is_a ENVO:00002038 ! WWF biome ....is_a ENVO:00000874 ! Tundra biome *** envo should define "tundra biome" according to OBO principles (e.g. a biome located_in a tundra), we can then attach metadata properties such as "WWF designated" to these. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=934923&aid=2639658&group_id=76834 |
