[Ontology-editors] Comprehensible examples

[Jane Lomax]

I think the signal transduction ones are the most intuitive, e.g.

regulation of Ran GTPase activity
part of
regulation of Ran protein signal transduction
regulates
Ran protein signal transduction

I'd be pretty happy understanding that regulating Ran GTPase activity 
didn't necessarily regulate Ran protein signal transduction, I think.
