Obsolete VIBSO:0000009 ('groove density') once this quality has been added to PATO

[StroemPhi]

We defined 'groove density' for the time being in VISBO and requested the term to be added to PATO (pato-ontology/pato#541). Once this quality has been added to PATO, we need to import it from there and obsolete it in VIBSO.

Why PATO and not CHMO? PATO seems to have the focus on genetics, rather than on optical spectroscopy

[StroemPhi]

Because in the OBO framework all qualities no matter what domain should be insode PATO. Just like all relation in RO. Is this misleading with regarding the name and description of PATO, yes indeed. But so is the fact that OBI has many terms, e.g. planned process, that are so general in terms of scientific dicipline. Unfortunately it is this way and you'd have to know that this is a rather historical context thing. I hope that at some points we will have propper submodule/shape registries that make this knowledge more clear.

The proposed workflow within the OBO framework is to first request the term, where other similar terms are defined, in this case PATO. If the PATO devs say this term is not in their scope, then we're fine and can either leave it in VIBSO or put it in CHMO, if we wish to do so.
