New definitions for lagoon environment

[cmungall]

Hi,
Thanks for your answer and sorry for the delay; the group where I work is one of the associated member of the GO consortium. I plan to use the environmental ontology to describe the feature of the Venice lagoon and in particular of the environmental microbial communities.

I would like to suggest some more definitions for the terms:

Contamination feature ENVO:00002204
Definition: A feature wherein there is an introduction of contaminants derived from human activities.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contamination

feature ENVO:00002297 feature ENVO:00000000

- Anthropogenic feature ENVO:00000002
[i]-Contamination feature ENVO:00002204

Industrial waste ENVO:00002267
Definition: A type of waste produced by industrial activity, such as factories, mills and mines.

Organic waste ENVO:00002873

[i]— waste ENVO:00002264
[i]— industrial waste ENVO:00002267
[i]— organic waste ENVO: 00002873

Brackish water ENVO:00002019

Environmental matter ENVO:00010483

[i]—brackish water ENVO:00002019

I would like also to add a new term:
Brackish water habitat
Definition: Ecological or environmental area characterized by brackish water.

Environmental feature ENVO:00002297
[i]— habitat ENVO:00002036
[i]— aquatic habitat ENVO: 00000144
[i]— brackish water habitat ENVO: new

Thanks,
