Large degree of "undergrouping" in PHENIO/uPheno

[matentzn]

From @cmungall

the two highlighted terms should converge on external ear morph rather than plain ear morph

@jmcl this is a super high priority uPheno issue for the next months!

[cmungall]

In this case the problem is with HPO

The logical definition reflects the term label, which disguises an implicit commitment to morphology.

Proposal:

• HPO label changes to "Abnormal morphology of the outer ear"
• logical definition also changes

This would reflect the placement in the is-a hierarchy:

It could be argued that this should be obvious: unlike with say the inner ear, there is no physiology to be confused with the outer ear. But even if the label remains the same the logical definition should change
