FBbi should use terms from other ontologies where appropriate #39

Description

@gouttegd

Currently, FBbi is basically an island. That is, the ontology is completely disconnected from all the others OBO ontologies.

For example, we have the following terms under 'organelle-specific probe':

All the mentioned organelles have terms representing them in the “cellular component” branch of the Gene Ontology (e.g. 'Golgi apparatus', 'endoplasmic reticulum', etc), but none of the FBbi terms have any connection to the GO terms.

Likewise, under 'affinity for specific proteins', we have terms representing an affinity for a handful of proteins such as 'batrachotoxin' or 'phalloidin', but without any connection to any potential corresponding term in the Protein Ontology.

We should identify all cases where a FBbi term references a concept that is likely to be represented in a foreign ontology (such as an organelle represented in GO, a protein represented in PRO, a molecule represented in CHEBI, etc.) and explicitly add axioms referencing those terms.
