Description: Cell types that are provisionally defined by experimental techniques such as single cell transcriptomics rather than a straightforward & coherent set of properties. All terms subclass conventionally defined terms in CL. If more data emerges that allows more conventional definitions, terms may migrate to CL.

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/pcl.owl
Currently PCL works by importing components that should be created seperated, with a base file (an ontology file that only contains axioms belonging to the ontology, excluding any axioms from imported ontologies). To request inclusion of your ontology into PCL, please create a ticket in our Issue tracker.
Please use this GitHub repository's Issue tracker to request new terms/classes or report errors or specific concerns related to the ontology.
This ontology repository was created using the Ontology Development Kit (ODK).
Currently, for the release to be prepared correctly, we need to force bdso-ext.owl component to be built first - this can be done by using sh run.sh make components/bdso-pcl-comp.owl prepare_release
PCL uses a "base file import system" that merges before incorporating. To update imports, use sh run.sh make no-mirror-refresh-merged
