Our phenotype annotations currently employ linking a phenotype composition to a taxon via an exhibits relation. However this model has not provided an obvious way to employ taxon-specific homology annotations to the anatomical entities being annotated. This page describes an alternative representation of phenotype annotations which seems to provide a solution for employing homology annotations as well as anatomical relations which are taxon-specific.
Phenotype annotations
Our current phenotype annotation model has the form "a particular taxon has some phenotype, consisting of some quality inhering in some anatomical entity":
Danio rerio exhibits sigmoid^inheres_in(vertebra 1)
This can be stated differently as "some anatomical entity, in a particular taxon, has some quality":
vertebra 1^in_taxon(Danio rerio) has_quality sigmoid
