[Obo-phenotype] request for new concepts under pato:diameter

[Heiner O. <hei...@gm...>]

Dear all,

I'm working on the representation of measurements in radiology using OBO
ontologies. In particular I use BFO, RO, UO, IAO, OBI and PATO.

>From PATO I mainly use concepts under pato:size, especially those under
'pato:1-D extent' such as length, width or diameter. I found these concepts
very useful, however I was wondering whether one could add more specific
concpets under pato:diameter. For instance PATO already contains
'pato:anterior-posterior diameter', but could we also add the following:

*'craniocaudal diameter'*
    A diameter that is along the craniocaudal axis. In humans this is the
height of an anatomical entity.

*'transversal diameter'*
    The longest extension in orthogonal direction to the anterior posterior
diameter within the transverse plane. In humans this is the maximal width
of an anatomical entity.

*'longest diameter'*
    The longest diameter is the longest straight line where all points of
the line are within the object.

*'short axis' or 'longest perpendicular diameter'*
    The short axis is the maximal extent of an object in orthogonal
direction to the longest diameter.

Thank you in advance!
Kind regards
