We note that ENVO's "glaciation" references the temporal period, while we've mapped SWEET glaciation to ENVO's "glacial ice gain". (needs to be corrected above).

see #190 (comment), also #185

is glaciation a process, or a kind of time interval, or an event?

if there are multiple concepts associated with these terms, there should be multiple SWEET classes with distinct definitions and label glosses to distinguish them.

We have http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01001641 for the temporal period (note the comment on how this term is quite ambiguous, as we discovered in our cryohackathons).

if there are multiple concepts associated with these terms, there should be multiple SWEET classes with distinct definitions and label glosses to distinguish them.

+1 the skos:related annotation should be used liberally here.
