Relating taxa to phenotypes
From phenoscape
In Phenoscape, we are annotating the phenotypes of species, as described in systematic literature. Because we are working within an ontological framework, we require a well-defined relation to link a taxon to a phenotype. This page describes the properties of, and issues related to, our proposed relation, exhibits.
Defining exhibits
Proposed definition
A taxon X exhibits phenotype Y if phenotype Y has been observed in some organism which is a member of taxon X.
