description: The Cowpea Trait Ontology is part of the Crop Ontology (CO) project.
  The Crop Ontology has been created to compile validated concepts along with their
  inter-relationships on anatomy, structure and phenotype of Crops, on trait measurement
  and methods as well as on Germplasm with the multi-crop passport terms. The concepts
  of the CO are being used to curate agronomic databases and describe the data. The
  use of ontology terms to describe agronomic phenotypes and the accurate mapping
  of these descriptions into databases is important in comparative phenotypic and
  genotypic studies across species and gene-discovery experiments as it provides harmonized
  description of the data and therefore facilitates the retrieval of information.
