Description

Working with the ARTS data workshop - looking at anus term with regard to tunicates. 'develops from' some proctodeum and 'ectoderm-derived structure' may not work. Should anus be simply orifice and (distalmost_part_of some 'digestive tract') with the other restrictions in a more specific term? Or is there a more generalized concept than anus?

Start with the ARTS workshop context and the existing anus term, then evaluate the proposed orifice and distalmost_part_of some 'digestive tract' definition against tunicates. Done means a maintainer-approved decision on the generalized concept and where the more specific restrictions belong.
