Description
The definition of pigment epithelium of eye is "Epithelial layer of the retina, ciliary body, or iris composed of cells containing pigment granules."
However the logical definition is simply epithelium and ('part of' some eye).
As a result eye epithelium is inferred to be a subclass of pigment epithelium of eye, which doesn't sound right to me.

Research direction
Start by examining the ontology entries for UBERON_0007625 (pigment epithelium of eye) and UBERON_0015808 (eye epithelium), comparing the textual and logical definitions. Confirm that the inferred subclass relationship is incorrect, then update the logical definition so it reflects the stated retinal, ciliary body, or iris and pigment-granule constraints.
