Description

Alex and I would like to make the following changes, we wanted to check with everyone that this is reasonable:

We propose to change the label of 'stylopodial skeleton'' to 'stylopod bone' and obsolete 'upper arm bone' and 'upper leg bone', with replaced_by humerus and femur, respectively.

In the stylopod, a collective skeleton term would be one and the same as the 'upper arm bone' or 'upper leg bone', in that there is only one skeletal element in forelimb/hindlimb stylopod (to Alex's expert knowledge).

Humerus and femur would then need to be asserted as subclasses of 'stylopod bone' (currently they don't infer to be part_of the stylopodial skeleton).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing ontology declarations for “stylopodial skeleton,” “upper arm bone,” “upper leg bone,” humerus, and femur, along with the project’s term-obsoletion conventions. Done means renaming the collective term to “stylopod bone,” obsoleting the two old terms with their replacements, and making humerus and femur subclasses of the new term.
