Add new terms an hierarchy for microbiota #73
Comments
@zhengj2007 and @yongqunh I added these classes to pco-edit.owl. Do you want to check them before I do a release? |
@ramonawalls I trust you and would like you to go ahead and make the release. |
@ramonawalls yes. please go ahead to release the terms. We will later then import these terms to OHMI. Thanks. |
Thanks @zhengj2007 and @yongqunh. I'll let you know when the new release is done. |
Thanks @ramonawalls |
The release is out. I made a typo in the version IRI, so it say 2020-02-13 instead of 2020-02-12, but I don't think that will affect anything important, so I am going to leave it, and tomorrow it will be the 13th! |

Following an in person discussion with @zhengj2007 and @yongqunh, we decided to keep the current term for microbial community, but to add some other microbioata classes for other use cases, in the hierarchy below:
-- collection of microbial organisms
--- multi-species collection of microbes
---- microbial community
--- single species collection of microbes
-- multi-species collection of organisms
--- ecological community
---- microbial community
--- multi-species collection of microbes
---- microbial community
-- single-species collection of organisms
--- population of organisms
---- microbial population
This is a complex hierarchy, so I will make a PR soon for people to review, and to make sure I got it right.
New terms:
collection of microbial organisms
: A collection of organisms consisting of two or more microbes.exact synonym: microbiota
multi-species collection of microbes
: A multi-species collection of organisms that consists of two or more microbes from at least two species.single species collection of microbes
: A single-species collection of organisms that consists of two or more microbes of the same species and no members of any other species.microbial population
: A population of organisms consisting of only microbes of the same species, that live in the same place.broad synonym: microbiota
For reference, the existing term is:
microbial community
: An ecological community which is composed of co-existing populations of microbes that interact, directly or indirectly, such that they impact one another's ecological fitness.Add broad synonym: microbiota
