cryoform, PATO:frozen #498

Closed kaiiam closed 7 years ago

kaiiam commented 7 years ago

@pbuttigieg In our discussion for #487 we decided to create the class cryoform (subclass of geographic feature), which would have an axiom along the lines of:

'primairly composed of’ some ‘environmental material’ and ‘has quality’ frozen

Which we would need PATO:frozen for. The semantics of PATO:frozen seem to be written as if for a frozen specimen but hopefully this could work for ENVO generally to express the frozen quality for which most classes in polarOn need.

I think we can go ahead with frozen in its current form as it does point to the same general phenomenon; however, I've added a request for rephrasing.

Closing this as we have it imported.
