[Copilot]

This PR adds a new term "episcleral vein" to the UBERON ontology as requested in issue #1680.

New Term Details

Changes Made

• Added new term to src/ontology/uberon-edit.obo following existing patterns

• Used next available ID in the 777xxxx range (UBERON:7770011)
• Verified term relationships and references are valid

Validation

The new term has been validated using the existing obo-grep.pl tool and confirmed to:

• Have a unique ID without conflicts

Fixes #1680.

@copilot - looks good apart from addition of new file under /terms. Please revert this. The only file that should be edited is src/ontology/uberon-edit.obo.

Fixed! I've removed the terms/UBERON_7770009.obo file and also corrected a duplicate ID issue I discovered. The episcleral vein term now uses UBERON:7770011 instead of the conflicting UBERON:7770009 (which was already taken by kidney interpolar region). Only src/ontology/uberon-edit.obo is now modified as requested. Commit: ff2bb82
