BAMS neuroanatomical ontology: design and implementation
We describe in this paper the structure and main features of a domain specific ontology for neuroscience, the <em>BAMS Neuroanatomical Ontology</em>. The ontology includes a complete set of concepts that describe the parts of the rat nervous system, a growing set of concepts that describ...

| description | We describe in this paper the structure and main features of a domain specific ontology for neuroscience, the <em>BAMS Neuroanatomical Ontology</em>. The ontology includes a complete set of concepts that describe the parts of the rat nervous system, a growing set of concepts that describe neuron populations identified in different brain regions, and relationships between concepts. The ontology is linked with a complex representation of structural and physiological variables used to classify neurons, which is encoded in <em>BAMS</em>. <br /><em>BAMS Neuroanatomical Ontology</em> is accessible on the web and includes an interface that allows browsing terms, viewing criteria for classification, and accessing associated information. |
