ABO broader/narrower synonyms

[pmidford]

This is a list of NBO terms for which @aclark-binghamton-edu and @swmargulis have identified synonyms in ABO, however the synonyms are likely either broader or narrower than the NBO terms. These ABO terms might simply added as synonyms with the appropriate scope or possibly as new terms inserted into the NBO hierarchy.

I am posting this list as a request for comment on what to do with these specific ABO terms.

There are other ABO terms that we do want to add to NBO as new terms. I will assemble a list of those terms in separate issues (one for leaf terms and one for terms to be inserted) and then generate pull requests for these changes.

NBO Term	ABO Term	scope (ABO term relative to NBO term)
feeding behavior	nutrient acquisition	broader (or exact?)
fossorial locomotion behavior	burrow	narrower (or exact?)
maternal grooming	hygiene	broader
consumption behavior	ingest	broader
sexual display behavior	mate attraction behavior	narrower (or exact?)
nest building behavior	nest-egg sac creation	broader
mouth movement	other moved mouth parts/mouth part movement	broader
sexual activity	sexual actions	broader (but process/event, not functional)
communication behavior	signal exchange	narrower (or exact?)
submissive behavior	submission	narrower (or exact?)
aquatic locomotion	swim	narrower
brooding behavior	thermoregulation (or thermoregulation of offspring)	broader

@reality Are you planning on doing these soon, or I can take care of them in the next day or two. I see you're working on the list in issue 49.

Hi, I'll take care of these today

Is this issue closed?

[aclark-binghamton-edu]

I have not heard about progress since then. The problem was that there were no definitions in NBO. ABO has definitions for all terms. Hence the broader-narrower issue is hard to resolve.

@pmidford could also comment?

I'll check these and reply next week.
