Description of typo, bug or error

A spell-check sweep over the text definitions in src/ontology/cl-edit.owl found 35 distinct spelling errors (37 occurrences) across 29 terms. All are simple misspellings in IAO:0000115 text definitions — no logical axioms are affected.

Checked against cl-edit.owl on master (fetched 2026-09-03), so all were still present at time of filing. Every term ID / label pair below was verified against both cl-edit.owl and the OLS4 API; obsolete terms were excluded.

An elongated, contractile cell found wrapped about precapillary arterioles outside the basement membrane. Pericytes are present in capillaries where proper adventitia and muscle layer are missing (thus distingushing this cell type from adventitial cells). They are relatively undifferentiated and may become fibroblasts, macrophages, or smooth muscle cells.

corticol → cortical

A resting mature B cell that has the phenotype IgM-positive, IgD-positive, CD23-positive and CD21-positive, and found in the B cell follicles of the white pulp of the spleen or the corticol areas of the peripheral lymph nodes. This cell type is also described as being CD19-positive, B220-positive, AA4-negative, CD43-negative, and CD5-negative.

CL:0001072 — CD34-negative, CD117-positive innate lymphoid cell, human
precusor → precursor

An innate lymphoid cell in the human with the phenotype CD34-negative, CD117-positive, and a precusor to NK cells, ILC2 cells, and ILC3 cells.

CL:0001073 — CD34-negative, CD56-positive, CD117-positive innate lymphoid cell, human

CL:0001074 — CD34-positive, CD56-positive, CD117-positive common innate lymphoid precursor, human
Thie → This, precusors → precursors

An innate lymphoid cell precursor in the human with the phenotype CD34-positive, CD56-positive, CD117-positive.Thie cell type may include precusors to NK cells and ILC3 cells.

CL:0001075 — KLRG1-positive innate lymphoid cell, human
precusor → precursor

An innate lymphoid cell in the human with the phenotype KLRG1-positive that is a precusor for ILC2 cells.

CL:0001076 — NKp46-positive innate lymphoid cell, human
precusor → precursor

An innate lymphoid cell in the human with the phenotype NKp46-positive that is a precusor for NK cells and ILC3 cells.

CL:0001082 — immature innate lymphoid cell
lyphoid → lymphoid

An innate lyphoid cell with an immature phenotype.

CL:0002132 — stromal cell of ovary
stomal → stromal

A stomal cell of the ovary

CL:0002176 — secondary follicular cell of ovary
follicile → follicle

A cell of a secondary follicile within the ovary.

CL:0002336 — buccal mucosa cell
cavitiy → cavity

An endothelial cell that lines the oral cavitiy including the mucosa of the gums, the palate, the lip, and the cheek.

CL:0003018 — retinal ganglion cell B3 inner

A retinal ganglion B3 cell with dentrites terminating in S4.

CL:0004120 — retinal ganglion cell A1

A retinal ganglion A cell found in the retina with large somata, often polygonal in shape. The dendritic fields consist of three to seven stout dendrites that are sparce near soma. Dendrites terminate in S4.

CL:0008002 — skeletal muscle fiber
synctial → syncytial

A transversely striated, synctial cell of skeletal muscle. It is formed when proliferating myoblasts exit the cell cycle, differentiate and fuse.

CL:0008017 — adult skeletal muscle myoblast
mucle → muscle, acivation → activation

A skeletal muscle myoblast that is part of a skeletal mucle. These cells are formed following acivation and division of skeletal muscle satellite cells. They form a transient population that is lost when they fuse to form skeletal muscle fibers.

CL:0008020 — skeletal muscle satellite myogenic cell
skeleltal → skeletal

A skeletal muscle satellite cell that undergoes symmetric division to produce two adult skeleltal muscle myoblasts.

CL:0009014 — Peyer's patch lymphocyte
intestitial → interstitial

A lymphocyte that is part of a Peyer's patch. These cells have a major role in driving the immune response to antigens sampled from the intestinal lumen, and in regulating the formation of follicle-associated epithelium and M cells in Peyer's patches by converting intestitial enterocytes into M cells.

CL:0011004 — lens fiber cell
vetebrate → vertebrate

A vetebrate lens cell that is any of the elongated, tightly packed cells that make up the bulk of the mature lens in a camera-type eye.

CL:0011028 — olfactory ensheathing cell
neuroons → neurons

A neural-crest derived glial cell that supports the growth and survival of primary olfactory neuroons from the neuroepithelium in the nasal cavity to the brain by encasing large bundles of numerous unmyelinated axons.

CL:0011102 — parasympathetic neuron
sysem → system

Parasympathetic neurons are part of the parasympathetic nervous sysem and the cell bodies lie in the brain and sacral region of the spinal cord. The neurons are mainly cholinergic.

CL:2000060 — placental villous trophoblast
synctial → syncytial, trophoplast → trophoblast

A trophoblast of placental villi. These cells fuse to form synctial trophoplast - the placental side of the interface between the placenta and maternal blood sinusoids in the decidua.

CL:4023114 — calyx vestibular afferent neuron
posseses → possesses

A vestibular afferent neuron which posseses a unique postsynaptic terminal, the calyx, which completely covers the basolateral walls of type I hair cells and receives input from multiple ribbon synapses.

CL:4042017 — alpha1-tanycyte
venticle → ventricle

The dorsal-most tanycyte type of the third venticle. These cells projects into the ventromedial or dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus. This type of tanycyte extends its protrusions close to parenchymal neurons without contacting blood vessels. It expresses the glial marker S-100β.

CL:4047051 — small intestine BEST4+ enterocyte
disinctive → distinctive

An enterocyte of the human small intestine expressing bestrophin-4 (BEST4) calcium-activated ion channels. These enterocytes have a disinctive transcriptomic profile and are scattered through the small intestine epithelium.

CL:4052009 — crypt-top fibroblast
experession → expression

A subepithelial intestinal fibroblast that is located adjacent to the top of the crypt of Lieberkuhn. Characterized by high experession of PDGFRα, this cell secretes a range of signaling factors, including WNTs and BMPs, that drive epithelial differentiation, creating a gradient that regulates the balance between stem cell maintenance and differentiation.

** notes**

  • CL:0001073 and CL:0001074 also have a missing space after a full stop (…CD117-positive.Thie cell type…), so the fix there is .Thie → . This.

    Opened PR #3715 with fixes for the 28 remaining terms (CL:0000454 was already fixed in #3714, which merged earlier today).

    Note: Existing community PR #3712 also targets this issue but is currently in a CONFLICTING state (against #3714) and has been awaiting review. If maintainers prefer to resolve and merge #3712 instead, please feel free to close #3715 — the intent is just to unblock the fix.

    Summary of #3715:

    • 33 spelling errors fixed in IAO:0000115 text definitions across 28 terms
    • No logical axioms touched
    • Validated with robot convert
    • Three related typos in synonyms/comments were left untouched because the issue was scoped to text definitions; happy to sweep those up in a follow-up if wanted
