# Mucosal Epithelium Terms - Changes Summary

## Overview
This change addresses the issue where many mucosa terms in UBERON lacked corresponding epithelium terms with proper `part_of` relationships, making it difficult for users to navigate from mucosa → epithelium → cell types.

## Problem
- UBERON had ~120 mucosa terms
- Only ~60 had corresponding "epithelium of mucosa" terms
- Users querying for parts of a specific mucosa could not easily find the epithelium term
- From epithelium, users should be able to find cell types that are part of that epithelium

## Solution
Added 25 new epithelium terms with proper logical definitions following the pattern:
```
intersection_of: UBERON:0000483 ! epithelium
intersection_of: part_of <MUCOSA_ID> ! <mucosa name>
```

All new terms are subclasses of UBERON:0003350 (epithelium of mucosa).

## New Terms Created

### Terms for General Mucosa Locations (13 terms)
- UBERON:9900000 - epithelium of cecum mucosa
- UBERON:9900001 - epithelium of tracheal mucosa
- UBERON:9900002 - epithelium of bronchial mucosa
- UBERON:9900003 - epithelium of olfactory segment of nasal mucosa
- UBERON:9900004 - epithelium of cervical mucosa
- UBERON:9900005 - epithelium of gland of nasal mucosa
- UBERON:9900006 - epithelium of colorectal mucosa
- UBERON:9900007 - epithelium of respiratory segment of nasal mucosa
- UBERON:9900008 - epithelium of reproductive system mucosa
- UBERON:9900009 - epithelium of viscerocranial mucosa
- UBERON:9900010 - epithelium of lower esophagus mucosa
- UBERON:9900011 - epithelium of esophagogastric junction mucosa
- UBERON:9900012 - epithelium of alveolar mucosa

### Terms for Specific Anatomical Regions (12 terms)
- UBERON:9900013 - epithelium of mucosa of stomach
- UBERON:9900014 - epithelium of mucosa of small intestine
- UBERON:9900015 - epithelium of mucosa of urinary bladder
- UBERON:9900016 - epithelium of mucosa of larynx
- UBERON:9900017 - epithelium of mucosa of anal canal
- UBERON:9900018 - epithelium of mucosa of rectum
- UBERON:9900019 - epithelium of mucosa of ureter
- UBERON:9900020 - epithelium of mucosa of vagina
- UBERON:9900021 - epithelium of mucosa of ascending colon
- UBERON:9900022 - epithelium of mucosa of transverse colon
- UBERON:9900023 - epithelium of mucosa of descending colon
- UBERON:9900024 - epithelium of mucosa of sigmoid colon

## Terms Already Properly Covered
The following mucosa terms already had epithelium terms with correct part_of relationships:
- mouth mucosa → oral epithelium (UBERON:0002424)
- stomach glandular region mucosa → stomach glandular epithelium (UBERON:0006924)
- mucosa of large intestine → epithelium of large intestine (UBERON:0001278)
- mucosa of appendix → epithelium of appendix

## Validation
- All terms validated using `robot convert` with no syntax errors
- All terms follow the standard UBERON pattern for logical definitions
- All terms include proper metadata (dcterms:date, created_by)

## Files Modified
- `src/ontology/uberon-edit.obo` - Main ontology file with 25 new terms
- `terms/new_mucosal_epithelia.obo` - First batch of 13 new terms
- `terms/additional_mucosal_epithelia.obo` - Second batch of 12 new terms

## Testing Recommendations
1. Run reasoner to verify inferred relationships
2. Test queries for parts of specific mucosae to confirm epithelium terms are found
3. Verify that cell types can be reached from epithelium terms

## Future Work
- Consider adding similar terms for other specialized mucosa subclasses if needed
- Review with ontology maintainers for any additional mucosa terms that may need coverage
