An ontology for describing the phenology of individual plants and populations of plants, and for integrating plant phenological data across sources and scales.
When we set up the PPO, we copied the then current practice of the PO of including term IDs (as CURIES) in the definitions. This is generally not done any more in obo ontologies. Should we get rid of them too? They don't really help with clarity.
For example:
A 'plant phenological trait' (PPO:0002000) that is measured by the number of some 'plant structure' (PO:0009011) that a 'whole plant' (PO:0000003) has abscised or that have been removed from a 'whole plant' (PO:0000003).
would change to
A 'plant phenological trait' that is measured by the number of some 'plant structure' that a 'whole plant' has abscised or that have been removed from a 'whole plant'.
