pregnancy and partuition

[gocentral]

Currently pregnancy and partuition are is_a children of both multicellular organismal process (GO:0032501) and multi-organism process (GO:0051704). In fact, they are multi-organism processes that require interaction between the mother and the offspring. Assuming that pregnancy only occurs in mammals. Although there appears to be an annotation to chicken according to AMIGO. I would like to fix this as follows:

term: pregnancy ID:GO:0007565 is_a:multi-organism process ; GO:0051704 is_a:reproductive process ; GO:0022414

term: maternal process involved in pregnancy ID: GO:new def: A reproductive process occuring in the mother that allows an embryo or foetus to develop within it. part_of:pregnancy GO:0007565 is_a:reproductive process in a multicellular organism ; GO:0048609

is gestation in vivaporous non-mammals considered pregnancy? eg sharks, scorpions, cockroaches (Diploptera)?

If a N condition for pregnancy is implantation in the uterus then only uterine animals can become pregnant. If a N condition is also the carrying of an embryo then this would exclude ovoviviparous organisms (but not Diploptera)?

In any case the chicken one sounds wrong..

the overall structure, discriminating the multi-organismal from the organismal seems good

I wondered about this myself. The most conservative route would be to have: term: embryonic process involved in pregnancy ID: GO:new def:A reproductive process occuring in the embryo or fetus that allows the embryo or foetus to develop within the mother. is_a:reproductive process in a multicellular organism ; GO:0048609 part_of:pregnancy GO:0007565 part_of:embryonic development ; GO:0009790

substitute uterus with placenta in my previous comments

Just to add that little bit more complication: in seahorses, pregnancy includes fertilized eggs embedding in the brood pouch wall, where they are surrounded by tissue and bathed in fluid. At the end of pregnancy, complete little seahorses pop out. And to top it all off, it's the males that become pregnant. For example, see

carrying of young vivaparous carrying of young: young gain nourishment from mother ovovivaparous: no nourishment from mother pregnancy: vivaparous carrying of young in the uterus

(where uterus is defined such that it does not include non-mammalian uterus-like things)

vivaparous carrying of young is observed in some cockroaches..

Perhaps the safest way to handle this is to rename the current GO term 'female pregnancy' and create a synonym called 'carrying of young'. This would be consistent with the definition.

term: female pregnancy def: ID:GO:0007565 is_a:multi-organism process ; GO:0051704 is_a:reproductive process ; GO:0022414

term: maternal process involved in pregnancy ID: GO:new def: A reproductive process occuring in the mother that allows an embryo or foetus to develop within it. part_of:pregnancy GO:0007565 is_a:reproductive process in a multicellular organism ; GO:0048609

term: embryonic process involved in pregnancy ID: GO:new def:A reproductive process occuring in the embryo or fetus that allows the embryo or fetus to develop within the mother. is_a:reproductive process in a multicellular organism ; GO:0048609 part_of:pregnancy GO:0007565 part_of:embryonic development ; GO:0009790

term: parturition ID:GO:0007567 is_a:multi-organism process ; GO:0051704 is_a:reproductive process ; GO:0022414

term: maternal process involved in parturition ID: GO:new def:A reproductive process occuring in the mother that results in birth. is_a:reproductive process in a multicellular organism ; GO:0048609 part_of:parturition ; GO:0007567

term: fetal process involved in parturition ID: GO:new def:A reproductive process occuring in the embryo that results in birth. is_a:reproductive process in a multicellular organism ; GO:0048609 part_of:parturition ; GO:0007567 part_of:embryonic development ; GO:0009790

We could then add viviparous pregnancy ovoviparous pregnancy uterine pregnancy male pregnancy at a later date

My goal right now is to get rid of a disjointedness violation.
