The convention used by model organism databases to <B>annotate </B> mutant phenotypes is entity-quality (EQ) syntax in which an entity from an anatomical ontology is combined with a quality or nontaxon specific modifier (Gkoutos et al. 2004; Sprague et al. 2008).

From SB paper: 'Because the active use of ontologies is relatively new to evolutionary biology in general and systematics in particular, the biological research project currently driving development of TAO is the <B>phenotype annotation </B> of the systematic literature for teleost fishes by the Phenoscape project.'

From SB paper: 'For example, a character state might be “Antorbital, triangular.” This phenotype can be expressed using the TAO term antorbital and the PATO term triangular. Such  <B>phenotype annotations </B> corresponding to systematic characters require the association of the anatomical term with a taxonomic name. Thus, TAO terms are associated with species or higher taxa through annotations to teleost scientific names from the Teleost Taxonomy On- tology (www.phenoscape.org; OBO CVS repository: http://obofoundry.org).'

Phenotypes

Phenotypes and Characters

Phenotype
An Entity-Quality (EQ) statement. Semantically, a phenotype is_a PATO:quality AND inheres_in some entity. In OWL, a phenotype is a class expression that is equivalent to the intersection of a PATO:quality with all things that inheres_in some entity (a property restriction).
Attribute
High-level PATO quality term, such as PATO:shape. Attribute terms are superclasses (direct or indirect) of lower-level PATO quality terms.
Character
Presumably homologous feature of an organism that varies across taxa.
Character state
Variant of a character; assigned a code in a phylogenetic analysis.
Composite character state
A character state with more than one phenotype.
Phenotyped character
A character with one or more states assigned to a phenotype.

Phenotype annotations

Phenotype annotation
(synonym: phenotype assertion) The connection of a phenotype to a taxon or gene.
Phenotype profile
The union of phenotypes that are asserted for a particular gene or a particular taxon. Washington et al. (2009) defined a phenotypic profile or gene phenotype profile as 'the sum-total of the EQ descriptions for an individual genotype'.
Gene phenotype
A phenotype that has been used in a gene phenotype annotation.
Gene phenotype annotation
EQ statement associated with a gene.
Taxon phenotype
A phenotype that has been used in a taxon phenotype annotation. A taxon phenotype may correspond to part or whole of a described character state (i.e. a character state may be decomposed into multiple phenotypes).
Taxon phenotype annotation
EQ statement associated with a taxon.

Taxa, Taxon Names, and Taxon Summaries

Publication (Taxon) Name
The taxon name used in a publication from which we have curated data.
Total (Number of) Publication Taxon Names
Count of the total number of taxon names used in the publications that have annotations. The same publication taxon name used in different publications is counted multiple times.
Distinct (Number of) Publication Taxon Names
Count of the unique number of taxon names used in the publications that have annotations. The same taxon name used in different publications is counted only once.
Incompletely Identified Taxon
A taxon that is identified in a publication less specific than genus and species. Typically, these are of the form "Genus sp. (Author Year)", where (Author Year) cites the publication in which it appears.
Valid Taxon Name
The name of a taxon that is currently valid, according to an authoritative naming source (e.g., Catalog of Fishes) that is used in construction of the Taxonomy Ontology under consideration. This may or may not be the same as the Publication Taxon Name.
Distinct (Number of) Valid Taxon Names
Count of unique Valid Taxon names appearing in publications. The same valid taxon name used in different publications is counted only once. This includes incompletely identified taxa (which we cite to the publication in which it appears, such as Danio sp. (Smith 1992)).
Total (Number of) Mismatches
