See

xa0/edit#gid=0 for list of relations and definitions. The relations will 
probably go in RO, but we need corresponding classes for PCO and GO.

We discussed these at the CARO-PCO Oregon summit, and came to the following 
conclusions:

For "on" use RO:adjacent to as discussed earlier.

For "in" use RO:located.

For "near", we can't really put a relation in RO without some information on 
spacial scale. What is really being asserted here is some biotic interaction 
(inferred by spatial proximity). Perhaps a better solution is to use 
"participates in biotic-biotic interaction with" or "participates in 
abiotic-biotic interaction with" along with an annotation to assert the 
confidence of the interaction.

"Emerged from" and "reared from": These need to be shortcut relations that 
refer to the appropriate processes (emerging and rearing). Rearing may or may 
not include emerging, and emerging can happen in situ or under rearing 
conditions. This should not live in RO, but maybe in BCO or OBI or someplace 
like that.

"Visitor of" is really just adjacent to for a short time. Need an annotation or 
something to record the temporal aspect. 

"Parasite of" and "hyperparasite of" are already in RO.

For "associated with" use RO:biotically interacts with, or more specific 
subclasses ("participates in biotic-biotic interaction with" or "participates 
in abiotic-biotic interaction with").

These relations have been added to RO.
