Add cardinality points: north, east, west, south

[celineaubert]

We would need the cardinality points in AgrO: north, east, west, south( and maybe north-east, south-east, north-west,...) to describe the orientation of a slope.

This is difficult as there's no physical property that we can refer to. These are more of information artefacts. We could do this in terms of exposure to solar irradiation, wind, etc.

Yes, I believe we had a conversation about attempting to reuse and generalise the BSPO for geospatial issues. Mulling it over, I still find this tractable. Should we import relevant terms/principles into ENVO (or a new ontology) and create geospatial stuff there or just extend BSPO? The latter seems less attractive, as BSPO has good focus on anatomical relations.

My thoughts were that it would be largely analogous to BSPO, rather than a specialization (BSPO is very organism-centric). So basically no import, just following the same implicit design patterns

Agreed. I'll see what we can do
