+=== ontologyterm.txt file ===
+A single entry from an ontology or a controlled vocabulary. If it is a simple  controlled vocabulary, there may be no formal accession for the term. In these  cases the local name should be repeated in both term and termAccession. If the  term has a value, the !OntologyIndividual will have a single !DataProperty whose  value was the value for the property. For instance, for an !OntologyIndividual  based on the MO ontology the attributes might be: The term would be what is  usually called the local name in the Ontology, for instance 'Age'; The  termAccession could be  '!http://mged.sourceforge.net/ontologies/MGEDOntology.owl#Age' or a an arbitrary  accession if one exists; The identifier is a unique identifier for individuals  in the scope of the FuGE instance; The inherited name attribute should not be  used; The ontologyURI of !OntologySource could be  '!http://mged.sourceforge.net/ontologies/MGEDOntology.owl". The !OntologyTerm  subclasses are instances of Ontology classes and properties, not the actual  terms themselves. An !OntologyIndividual, if based on an existing Ontology, can  be considered a statement that can be validated against the referenced ontology.  The subclasses and their associations are based on the Ontology Definition  Model, ad/2005-04-13, submitted to the OMG as a response to RFP ad/2003-03-40,  Copyright © 2005 DSTC Pty Ltd.
