[Ontology-editors] haspart documentation (meeting with Chris (fwd))

[Jennifer Deegan (nee Clark)]

Hi Amelia,

That documentation seems really excellent to me. It is very clear and 
intuitive but also includes all of the technical jargon. I don't think 
you necesssarily need to talk more about the difference between has_part 
and part_of. Having a clear, brief explanation of each should allow 
people to see the distinction.

For has_part this is the section that I think really helps:

"Nucleus necessarily has part chromosome: all nuclei contain a 
chromosome, but only some chromosomes are part of a nucleus."

The rest is quite technical, but that part really makes things clear.

I like the all some visual all/some distinctions.

Jen
