description: 'The Thesaurus Of Plant characteristics (TOP), aims to harmonize and
  formalize concepts for plant characteristics widely used in ecology. TOP concentrates
  on two types of plant characteristics: traits and environmental associations. Characteristics
  are modelled as the ‘Quality’ of an ‘Entity’ used in the context of Open Biological
  Ontologies. Whenever possible, the Entities and Qualities are taken from existing
  terminology standards, mainly the Plant Ontology (PO) and Phenotypic Quality Ontology
  (PATO) ontologies. TOP provides names, definitions, units, synonyms and related
  terms for about 850 plant characteristics.'
