Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA)Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA)
FMA describes all of human anatomy (even sub-FMA describes all of human anatomy (even sub-cellular) as a symbolic ontology of concepts and cellular) as a symbolic ontology of concepts and relationshipsrelationships

ConclusionsConclusions
Many ontologies already exist in biology Many ontologies already exist in biology such as GO and the FMAsuch as GO and the FMA
