Who are we?
We are a consortium of arthropod anatomy ontologists, working together to improve and harmonise our individual, phylogenetically specific anatomy ontologies and to build an common arthropod anatomy ontology. Our ultimate aim is that this common arthropod anatomy ontology will provide a unified upper
This is voluntary effort, facilitated by the NSF funded Phenotype Research Co-ordination Network

Ultimate Aim
A unified structure for all arthropod anatomy ontologies - with all ontologies conforming to a general upper ontology.
- This structure should be scaleable, consistent and allow flexible queries that include those identified as a priority for the group.
- Terms should be easy to find and have clear definitions, linked to the relevant literature.
Short to medium term aims
- A basic classification and partonomy for gross insect body parts (segments, tagma, appendages, appendage segments) – in the context of a basic classification and partonomy for gross arthropod body parts. This will produce a basic structure around which general the arthropod, insect and more general anatomy ontologies can be built.
- A set of design patterns for defining classes of structures of interest to the work of group members. As source material for this work, we will use existing textual definitions from various arthropod anatomy ontologies. By analyzing these we will derive lists of classification properties that will provide the basis for formalization.
