Will need to add new quality invisible to the naked eye, which should eventually go into PATO. def: A physical object quality that is inhered in a material entity that is too small to be viewed by the unaided eye.

ramonawalls commented 5 years ago

Needed to define microbial collections of organisms, per issue #73.

@pbuttigieg Please let us know if you want any changes to this one or #73. We should include you as a contributor as well.

@ramonawalls my ORCID is 0000-0002-2999-0103. Thanks!

@cmungall, in EnvironmentOntology/envo#781 you suggested including non-monophyletic groups in NCBITaxon. Would that be the appropriate home for this microbe class?

cmungall commented 5 years ago

Different namespace, but it could be built as part of the obo ncbitaxon releases, and released as an optional extension

but I think this should be reserved for things that can be logically defined using or/and/not with existing taxo... this one feels odd let's discuss later
