Most relevant changes to the ontology

• The new permanent URI of the ontology is used
• Labels and descriptions have been added to all the entities
• Change in the representation of taxonomic range to enable to store both the name and the id.
• We have added a new class SequenceUnit, which is a subclass of TaxonomicUnit and becomes the superclass of Gene, Protein and Subgenes.
• The class OrthologyGene is removed from the ontology, since we can use sio:Gene.
• The datatypeproperty identifier is replaced by dct:identifier.

Pending relevant decision

• Do we need to represent the flat/hierarchical nature of a cluster? If so, different classes, property?
