NTR: cecal content #1580

Open ddooley opened 4 years ago

ddooley commented 4 years ago

A new term "cecal content" used in biosamples

label: cecal content definition: Undigested food material, microbiota, and other materials found in the cecum pouch of the intestine. Definition source: https://www.britannica.com/science/cecum term editor: Emma Griffiths example of use: Cecal content is mostly foreign matter, but also receives things like chyme from other parts of the intestine.

Thanks,

Damion

Apologies for the delay.

I'm a little wary of adding X content for all subdivisions X of the digestive tract

what is your use case here? Is this for microbiome samples? Or for something like a chemical analysis of food content?

For the former it would be more conventional to use 'caecum'

Is there any way you can post-compose this? In mixs you have 3 fields, so you could say material=undigested food, location=cecum...?

Well, I see I forgot to put suggested parent, ingested food http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0012112 . We were thinking "caecum content" would go along the other two existing entries, "bolus of food" and "chyme". Its a biosample term coming in that our lexmapr software would match. Right now our LexMapr software doesn't post-compose terms, so it would be handy to have a pre-composed one for this, but I get your point that a combination bomb lurks by.

@cmungall Hey, any final decision on thisthe acceptance of this term? If Uberon doesn't want it, we can add it to GenEpio.

Also, in addition to 'caecal content', we need to add 'intestinal content', 'stomach content', and 'digestive tract substance', but they are not necessarily food, so maybe we can add them under 'organism substance' directly'.
