[Ontology-editors] organization, biogenesis etc

Hi Chris,

We plan to make a distinction between "organization" and "biogenesis" such 
that biogenesis includes synthesis of components and organization doesn't. 
So ...

organization and biogenesis -> organization
and
biogenesis - > biogenesis (but with a clearer definition)

Good that you've spotted the inconsistencies in those wall and capsule 
terms. We should clean it up into

biogenesis
- [p] organization
- [p] part biosynthesis

e.g.

GO:0009272 ! fungal-type cell wall biogenesis
- part_of GO:0031505 ! fungal-type cell wall organization
-- part_of GO:0051278 ! fungal-type cell wall polysaccharide biosynthetic 
process
