description: An ontology for respresenting spatial concepts, anatomical axes, gradients,
  regions, planes, sides and surfaces. These concepts can be used at multiple biological
  scales and in a diversity of taxa, including plants, animals and fungi. The BSPO
  is used to provide a source of anatomical location descriptors for logically defining
  anatomical entity classes in anatomy ontologies.
