[Ontology-editors] another question about biogenesis/organization

[Midori Harris]

Ow, my head.

I think we've worked out reasonable definitions for "organization" and 
"biogenesis" and we're just about there for applying them consistently. 
What we don't have -- and apparently you could really use -- is some term 
that covers everything we're putting under both organization and 
biogenesis ... "anything that happens to a cellular component".

What to call it, though?
