VFB Semantic queries

A variety of methods on VfbConnect and VFBConnect.oc take an OWL class expression using labels, symbols or short form IDs as input. The simplest expression is just a class (type), e.g. nodulus or DL1_adPN. More extended queries are also possible.

• 'GABAergic neuron' that 'overlaps' some 'nodulus'

• 'neuron' that 'overlaps' some 'adult antennal lobe glomerulus DL1'

• 'ALad1 lineage neuron' that 'overlaps' some 'adult antennal lobe'

Note that all entities, including the relation (in this case overlaps) must be in single quotes.

For most neuron query use cases overlaps is likely to be sufficient
