Models added post WS218

No.	Class	Institute	Comment/Brief Description	Curator(s)	Status
	WBProcess	Caltech	For WormBase Biological Topics pages added for WS225	Karen

Action Targets

1) If you check your models I have started listing all unused tags in the bottom section of each page.

2) 3d_data and Structure_data should be merged?

3) All address info should get stored in the #Address hash Currently only used in the Person class, should unify all models to use the Address hash

4) Author class should use #Address

5) Could we add species to all datasets.

Model Change Summaries

This section is used by the model curator to document the changes in a given release and should not be edited by anyone other than the Model Curator (Paul Davis)

It was decided to move this out of the normal CVS comments section coming from sanger, the CVS will now contain a link to the appropriate wiki page.
