spatial terms

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

Hi Everyone,

I just now started working on the leaf section and encountered the 
problem on how do we represent the spatial organization. Since 
PATO/phenotype attribute ontology is way off from implementation what 
are our rules on this.

here are a few spatial attribute examples which I think are necessary to 
describe a gene's transcript/protein expression profile or a phenotype.


first
second
third
fourth
fifth
	e.g.
	first leaf
	second leaf
	first / second internode
	first / second node
basal
uppermost ; synonym:topmost
lower
upper
	e.g.
	basal / uppermost internodes
	topmost leaves
	lower floret
	upper floret
primary
secondary
	e.g.
	primary / secondary panicle branches
	spikelets of the primary branches
