Hi,

Would it be possible for everybody to take a quick look at


    [ 1065289 ] organ morphogenesis terms 2

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1065289&group_id=36855&atid=440764

It's about the children of organogenesis. Organogenesis is about the 
morphogenesis of an organ and it has children called 'x development' and 
'x morphogenesis'. The impression that I get about these child terms was 
that the initial designation of 'development' or 'morphogenesis' was 
basically interchangeable since the terms were made before any clear 
distinction between these ideas had been worked out. A few months ago I 
redefined the development ones with the standard definition of 
development, with a view to moving them out of under 'organogenesis'. 
This is how we would have done things according to the old rules. 
However, now I have been told that if it doesn't affect annotation then 
it's okay to adjust the terms called 'x development' to make them into 
'x morphogenesis' terms. So I'm now wondering the following:

If there are terms called 'x development' under 'organogenesis', should 
I move these terms out to be children of 'organ development' or should I 
get the annotators to check the annotations, and where appropriate just 
change the 'x development' terms into 'x morphogenesis' terms.

Does anybody have any views on this?

Thanks,

Jen
