3.1.New term request

SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatile_organic_compound
DEF: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature. Their high vapor pressure results from a low boiling point, which causes large numbers of molecules to evaporate or sublimate from the liquid or solid form of the compound and enter the surrounding air, a trait known as volatility.
Examples: isoprene, benzene

This could be represented using a role 'volatility'. VOC could then be a composition of organic compound AND has-role SOME volatility
