We are undecided as to whether to ultimately model this as a data property of object property + cardinality, but for now we are using DPs as these are faster for reasoning

A material entity consisting of exactly one atomic nucleus and the electron(s) orbiting it.
This atom is closely related to ChEBI's atom, but not exactly equivalent to.

Some people may be uncomfortable calling every proton an atomic nucleus
This is equivalent to CHEBI:33252
atomic nucleus
HumanCurated
atomic nucleus
atomic nucleus
A material entity that consists of two or more atoms that are all connected via covalent bonds such that any atom can be transitively connected with any other atom.
This molecular entity is different than ChEBI's 'molecular entity'.
We would like to have cardinality restrictions on the logic, but there are some technical limitations.

molecule
molecular entity
A material entity consisting of multiple atoms that are completely connected by covalent bonds and structured in subunits, and where the most determinate class identity of the macromolecule is not necessarily changed when there is an addition or subtraction of atoms or bonds.
Terms moved to 'molecular entity', see https://github.com/OBOFoundry/Experimental-OBO-Core/issues/33

A material entity that has a plasma membrane and results from cellular division.
CL and GO definitions of cell differ based on inclusive or exclusive of cell wall, etc.
We struggled with this definition. We are worried about circularity. We also considered requiring the capability of metabolism.

cell in vitro
A material entity consisting of at least two macromolecular entities derived from a cell as parts, and that has a function for the cell.
Components are larger than individual macromolecular entities. It is tricky to define distinction between 'cell component' and 'macromolecular entity', e.g. ribosome. We would like to exclude most protein complexes.

subcellular structure
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CARO_0001008
A part of a multicellular organism that is a collection of cell components that are not all contained in one cell.
Bodily fluids, such as urine, are currently defined as anatomical entities in UBERON. We should make sure there is a proper home for these here.

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0100026
A material entity that is a maximal functionally integrated unit that develops from a program encoded in a genome.
"Maximal functionally integrated unit" is intended to express unity, which Barry considers synonymous with BFO 'object'.
Includes virus - we will later have a class for cellular organisms.
