This page describes the data model, data loading process, and query methods being developed for a new version of the Phenoscape Knowledgebase built on top of RDF and making use of standard OWL reasoners.

Data model

Phenotypes in the new data model are modeled as OWL class expressions. They are now constructed in an inverse fashion from the form in the original KB - rather than describing classes of particular qualities which inhere in particular structures, we describe organisms which have parts which bear particular qualities (at the level of instance data the model is the same — inheres_in is the inverse of bearer_of).

For example, "serrated dorsal fin":

  • old: serrated and inheres_in some dorsal_fin
