NTR: stability/ decreased stability

[sabrinatoro]

Hello, I would like to request new terms:

1)New term: stability

• child of "structure" (PATO:0000141)
• parent of "decreased stability" (NTR below)
• definition : quality, state, or degree of being stable (definition from Merriam-Webster)

2) New term: decreased stability

• synonym: unstable
• child of "stability" (NTR above)
• definition: a stability which is relatively low

Example: These terms could be used in an EQ statement in which E is a molecular complex (term from GO-CC), or an anatomical structure.

Thank you

Following from #112 I'd be inclined to treat stability not as a type of structure but rather as a disposition of a material entity to retain a particular structure or homeostatic set of structures.

Does the parentage matter to you or do you mostly need the term IDs?

[cmungall]

it's tempting to treat as

add synonyms to

. PATO:0001662 ! fragility * 
 % PATO:0001362 ! fragile
  % PATO:0002056 ! decreased fragility
  % PATO:0002055 ! increased fragility
 % PATO:0001716 ! non-fragile

But I think in this case it's better to make the new class and relate it to this hierarchy via other means, fragility has many other connotations beyond not-stable

Indeed, the parentage didn't matter much to me, as I mostly needed the terms. Thank you!
