Typos in definition of 'ocean' (ENVO:00000015)

[dillerm]

Current definition: "A marine water body which is constitutes the majority of an astronomical body's hydrosphere." (emphasis mine)

Proposed fix: "A saline water body which constitutes the majority of an astronomical body's hydrosphere."

Thanks for noticing the typo!

Regarding marine vs saline, can you say more about the motivation? Is it because "marine" is more circular?

• Many definitions of "marine" are something like "sea or ocean"
• ENVO's own definition of "marine water body" is "A lentic water body which is composed primarily of marine water.", but we have no term "marine water" in ENVO

There are some other oddities here. In ENVO, marine WB and saline WB are sibs, but surely it should be child-parent

Here are the terms in context:

Ah, whoops, I had not noticed that this class had 'marine water body' as a parent class (I was only looking at 'saline water body'). Ignore that suggestion.
