The Human Phenotype Ontology (2010, background): “Other biomedical ontologies of broad interest include the Mammalian Phenotype Ontology (20), the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) ontology (21), the Sequence Ontology (22), the Cell-Type ontology (23), the Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) ontology (24), and the mouse pathology (MP”
The Foundational Model of Anatomy Ontology (2008, background): “The FMA ontology was the first attempt to fill this gap [ 71 , 72]: it is a theory of anatomy which provides the rationale for implementing the FMA as an ontology artifact.”
Integrating Cyc and Wikipedia: Folksonomy meets rigorously defined common-sense (2008, background): “Relatively sophisticated definitions of concepts in narrow domains may be found in a number of ontologies pertaining to specific subject-areas which attract research funding, e.g. the Foundation Model of Anatomy (Rosse and Mejino, 2003), and various geospatial ontologies.”
Controlled vocabularies and semantics in systems biology (2011, methodology): “Widely used and established examples include the Gene Ontology (Ashburner et al , 2000), the Foundational Model of Anatomy (Rosse and Mejino, 2003) and BioPAX (Demir et al , 2010).”
NCI Thesaurus: A semantic model integrating cancer-related clinical and molecular information (2007, methodology): “Other development environments could support more powerful knowledge representation—Galen used GRAIL and, later, OILED tools [56,57] and the Foundational Model of Anatomy used frame representation in Protégé [58,59].”
The Plant Ontology as a Tool for Comparative Plant Anatomy and Genomic Analyses (2012, background): “Table 2 Child terms of plant structure of the plant anatomical entity branch of the PO Plant structure child termsa Identifier Examples of child terms plant cell PO:0009002 embryo plant cell, gamete, ground tissue cell, plant spore, plant egg cell, embryo sac egg cell, archegonium egg cell portion…”
The Virtual Skeleton Database: An Open Access Repository for Biomedical Research and Collaboration (2013, methodology): “For this metadata, the anatomical terms are taken from the comprehensive Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) ontology [24].”
The Cell Ontology 2016: enhanced content, modularization, and ontology interoperability (2016, methodology): “Over 400 cell types were added by generalizing human-specific classes from the Foundation Model of Anatomy (FMA) [19, 20] — many of these were compositional classes that we enhanced by adding both textual definitions and logical definitions connecting to Uberon.”
Web ontology segmentation: analysis, classification and use (2006, background): “For example, the biomedical domain has numerous very large ontologies such as SNOMED-CT [34], GALEN [25], FMA [30] and NCI-Thesaurus [7].”
Ontological realism: A methodology for coordinated evolution of scientific ontologies (2010, positive): “…the asserted monohierarchies have been identiﬁed, the terms in each hierarchy can be deﬁned according to the Principle of Aristotelian deﬁnitions (Rosse & Mejino, 2003): Given a term ‘ A ’ in an asserted monohierarchy, with parent term ‘ B ’, the deﬁnition of ‘ A ’ should take the form where ‘ C…”
Biomedical ontologies: a functional perspective (2007, background): “…Anatomy (FMA), which is a knowledge resource for anatomy and represents the classes and relationships necessary for the symbolic modeling of the structure of the human body in a form that is understandable to humans and is also navigable, parseable and interpretable by machine-based systems [18].”
