This page documents OWL class expressions for particular categories of phenotypes modeled as EQs. This is to provide explicit examples EQs representing common character types and also to help clarify a classification of phenotypes. This classification will be helpful when communicating about these phenotypes and also for directing design of curatorial user interfaces facilitating input of various types of EQs.
Basic phenotype
A quality of a singe physical entity. Example: “sigmoid-shaped supraorbital bone”
sigmoid that inheres_in some supraorbital_bone
Relational phenotype
Relational qualities are those that exist between multiple entities. For example, “parietal fused with supraoccipital” is represented as:
fused_with that inheres_in some parietal and towards some supraoccipital
Comparative phenotype
In the systematics literature, the size of a structure is often compared to the size of different structure, or it is compared to the same structure in another taxon. For example, an author may compare the length of one bone relative to another (e.g., state 0: "frontal length greater than parietal length" vs. state 1: frontal length shorter than parietal length"). State 0 is represented as:
length that inheres_in some frontal and increased_in_magnitude_relative_to some (length that inheres_in some parietal)
