Looking at option1 and option 2 on https://github.com/gwemon/P02-Biological-terms-review:

For option 1: it's unclear to me under which P02 how generic terms such as "Abundance of biological entity specified elsewhere per unit volume of the water body " http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P01/current/SDBIOL01/" could be included. As the term is generic, it can be used for most of the functional groups which would have a dedicated P02. Would this term then be included under all relevant P02's? I do not see how we can make sure that a sure looking for all phytoplankton abundances will get all phytoplankton abundances and only phytoplankton abundances.

Option 2 seems as better fit for the generic terms, but may be less suited for to discover the non-generic terms. I don't understand how we would still be able to target specific groups using option 2, even with a one to many relationship.

I do not know if we want to continue with the non-generic terms? Are people still using them and if so whether they can be persuaded to switch to the generic ones? Perhaps we would need 2 separate systems and the non-generic one could in time be deprecated?
