Even I agree on this as I was expecting a similar feedback). Yes ! we have to be
more generic. Continuing with the CV/O identifier prefixes,  I recommend TO
(trait ontology), PO (plant ontology)/OO (organismal ontology, where the
animals(AO if required) will also be represented and does not need PO/AO then).
Do you think of any other way to represent Anatomy ? any suggestions for
Identifiers if necessary?
