parcellation scheme ingestion
There are a number of brain parcellation schemes that we want to ingest into the ontology. Allen MBA and cocomac have been ingested (though cocomac has not been fully integrated into the ontology), but additional schemes should be ingested as well. For example, Paxinos, Swanson (does his new common mammalian work fit as a parcellation scheme or is it another conceptual level along with BrainInfo, NIFGA, UBERON?, CUMBO?), MNI and other fMRI templates.
UBERON has mappings between a number of these, but we need to bring these terminologies in directly.
Consider the impact on search/autocompletion. Assigning a special category for parcellation scheme concepts in scigraph should allow the webservices to demote them. Not entirely clear what the 'right' way is to redirect to the preferred high level identifier, worth consideration at other levels.
