historyNote:	2010-02-11 Add narrower relationship links by adding skos:narrower link in Protege, defining skos:narrower as inverse of skos:broader, calculating with Pellet reasoner to add inferred axioms, and using 'file/Export inferred axioms as ontology' in Protege.
historyNote:	2010-11-28 SMR replace URN with http URI according to CGI URI scheme (see https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/wiki/bin/view/CGIModel/PersistentIdentifiersInGeoSciMLServices) to make versionn 201202
prefLabel:	CGI Geologic Unit Morphology terms
definition:	This file contains the CGI Geologic Unit Morphology vocabulary. Use to specify the geometry or form of a GeologicUnit. Examples include: dike, cone, fan, sheet, etc. Morphology is independent of the substance (EarthMaterial) that composes the GeologicUnit.

Definition (en)	Geometric analog is convex down discoid, term generally connotes a kilometer-scale feature. Map view may be circular, elliptical, or irregular; characteristic feature is thickening from the edges towards the center. Typically used to describe a body of sedimentary rock deposited in a low area in the Earth's crust, in which case there is an implication that the top is (or was) a surface of deposition.
