More templates may be added in the future (e.g. to suggest hierarchy
revisions, improvements to definitions, etc.).

+## Preferred term label
+_This should be the most precise term that refers to the concept you
+want to see represented in FBbi – not necessarily the most commonly
+used term._
+
+## Synonyms
+_If the concept is known to be referred to with several other names
+beyond the preferred term label, you may list them here. This can
+include acronyms._
+
+## Definition
+_The definition should explain how the concept differs from the
+concept(s) represented by its immediate parent term(s). Please provide
+a reference (e.g. PubMed ID or DOI) whenever possible._
+
+
+## Parent term(s)
+_Where do you think the term belong in FBbi’s hierarchy. Please note
+that a term may very well have more than one parent term._

+synonym (referring to a broader concept), or a “narrow” synonym
