[Obo-phenotype] "Pressure" in PATO

[Mathias B. <mbr...@go...>]

Hi,

I am working with a medical ontology in the domain of cancer and I have
imported some classes of PATO via OBI using OntoFox.

I was rather surprised to find that "Pressure" is a subtype of "quality of a
single physical entity". From the definition of pressure in physics I seem
to remember that it should be a subtype to "quality of related physical
entities". Blood pressure and the pressure of air in a tire are good
examples for the relatedness. I can influence both by compressing the entity
on which the pressure is applied.

I am sure you pondered and discussed that in great detail and would be
interested in your reasoning.

I am not on the mailing list for PATO. Feel free to add me, or please send
answers to my e-mail.

Thanks,
Mathias
