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 taxon has some phenotype":

Danio rerio exhibits sigmoid^inheres_in(vertebra 1)

Taxonomically variable ontology relationships

Homology annotations
