snout length definition

[meghalithic]

Synonyms

muzzle length (?); @matentzn muzzle is a synonym of snout so would a search for muzzle length pull up snout length?

Expand definition to include: Typically measured on the ventral side of a skull along the anterior-posterior axis from the anterior part of the I1 (prosthion) to the anterior side of P2 on either the right or left side of a skull.

This can be an rdfs:comment (see issue #137)

[matentzn]

muzzle is a synonym of snout so would a search for muzzle length pull up snout length

This is a good question, this makes sense but would require a new feature in dosdp tools:

INCATools/dosdp-tools#246

Feel free to add a comment under the issue!

I'm not sure I follow that issue

Would it be worth making an annotation property like "other measurement label"?

[matentzn]

This issue basically means:

If a phenotype P refers to an anatomical entity A, and A has a synonym S, then we would want P to have a synonym based on the synonym of A!

Would it be worth making an annotation property like "other measurement label"?

Why, is synonym not good enough?

[meghalithic]

oh synonym is good enough! I wasn't sure if it did work like that or not. Here, 'snout' has synonym 'muzzle', but 'snout length' does not have synonym 'muzzle length'. So, because 'snout' has a synonym 'muzzle', if someone searched 'muzzle length', would 'snout length' show up?

I will make another issue about "other measurement label" as to not confuse this thread.

[matentzn]

Yes, I think it should - but for that to really happen (right now it does not) we need to show some enthusiasm here: INCATools/dosdp-tools#246 :)

[meghalithic]

For now, I'll manually make a synonym.
