It's likely already covered by the Gene Ontology so we could just import GO's
Biological Process (GO:0008150).
Oxygen binding: GO:0019825
Sleep process: GO:0030431
However, if it's a question of "level of granularity" (for example, 'breathing'
has
the status of a broad synonym in go, and neither inhaling nor exhaling are in
GO, nor
is swallowing), then there might be a need for a new term in OGMS complementary
to
GO's Biological Process.

I think you are right in putting it as a granularity issue. Maybe even as a
'scoping' issue. GO defines Biological
Process as a 'series of events or molecular functions'. Also, I do not readily
see differentiating between
'physiological' and 'pathological' processes.
On the other hand, from clinical medicine point of view, this differentiation
is important. As you mentioned,
we may need to reconcile the GO term with the OGMS:
bfo-span:Process
GO:BiologicalProcess (GO:0008150)
OGMS:BodilyProcess
OGMS:PathologicalBodilyProcess
OGMS:PhysiologicalBodilyProcess
