Proposed approach for Slicer LUT terminology mapping

1. Start with the GeneralAnatomy LUT (see here: http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Slicer3:2010_GenericAnatomyColors)

2. Using RadLex browser, identify General Anatomy, Segmented Property Category and Segmented Property Type codes (using the hierarchy) for a subset of the GeneralAnatomy LUT entries

3. Inherit RGB colors from LUT (note that Segmentation objects allow to encode recommended display color in "Recommended Display CIELab Value" (0062,000D) attribute; these values are encoded in CIALab).
