PO follow-up tasks

• add 364 synonyms to existing terms
• fix several errors that were discovered while doing the mappings
• add 143 unique new terms, plus their synonyms

-FNA provides definitions, so this will be relatively easy -A few of these are already on our list of terms to add, some from other users (e.g. phyloclade).

==PO-FNA follow-up tasks

create an official mapping file

• need unique IDs for FNA terms, in order to deal with duplicates (multiple concepts with same name)

• how to handle FNA terms that map to >1 PO term?

• how to map terms that are too general for PO (101 character terms)

==Phenotype/character terms form FNA

• begin work on phenotype/character terms, inlcuding the 101 from this list plus all of the FNA character terms
