Provide modeling examples on wiki page

There is a lack of documentation describing how to model common biological or biomedical scenarios using BFO.

For example, if a user wishes to model a basic quantity measurement it's not clear from either the reference or the OWL how to do this.

The SIO in contrast has some very nice examples on their wiki:

The bulk of the documentation there is in the domain of more specific ontologies - mostly OBI. Mereotopology is in the scope of BFO, as well as collections.

I would think this should be a request of OBI, no?

Yes, this is very much in OBI scope. We do have this modeled, and have examples However, there are known errors in these for over a year now due to the BFO versioning disaster which in this case leads to problems with the implementation of 'concretizes' + inverse relations, that have confused several people trying to understand the modeling.

I believe that concretizes (atemporal) would be replaced by concretizes-at-some-time. Is this know to cause any issues?
