GO is pre-coordinating biological process terms that refer to cell types using CL IDs
Cell ontology restructuring efforts
The cell ontology is being restructured with the general goals of improving definitions, moving towards single inheritance and is_a completeness, and making the CL more interoperable with the GO and CARO. These discussions are occurring via chat, the histories of which will be posted here. Please email the OBO cell list if you would like to participate.
An initial rough draft can be found below in OBO format with the proposed new branch at the same level as 'cell'. Current tasks include moving cells over to the 'by structure' branch to test for compatibility and potential problems.

NIAID Cell Ontology Workshop, May 13-14, 2008
The NIAID is sponsoring a Cell Ontology Workshop, May 13-14, 2008, in Bethesda, focusing on improving representation of immune cell types in the Cell Ontology. The intent of this workshop is to extend the current ontology in the area of immune cell types, and work toward providing the necessary information for the upcoming restructuring of the Cell Ontology in single-inheritance form with genus-differentia definitions.
More information on the workshop can be found NIAID Cell Ontology Workshop May 2008.
