Project summary Ontologies represent a domain of knowledge in a form that can be used by both computers and people. Biomedical ontologies provide standardized representations of knowledge that underlie modern biomedical research and serve as knowledge bases for enabling intelligent software applications. The Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) is an ontology of human anatomy and has a rich history as one of the first biomedical ontologies. After 20 years of development, two issues that affect the ability of the FMA to continue to serve as a source for standardized, computable knowledge of human anatomy have become apparent: First, variation in modeling schemes and inter-author variation have introduced inconsistencies, such that similar structures within the body are represented in slightly different ways. Second, ontologies rely on textual and logical representations, yet visual representations are often more effective for communicating about anatomy. These issues highlight the need for a next-generation resource for human anatomy that is optimized for use by both computers and people. In this project, we will undertake synergistic development of an ontology of human anatomy and standardized visual representations of human anatomy. Aim 1: To develop an ontology of human anatomy suitable for computational reasoning that will serve as a knowledgebase for the next generation of medical information systems, we will create the Foundational Model of Human Anatomy (FMHA) as a derivative of the FMA. Aim 2: To provide standardized visual representations of human anatomy for use in information systems, we will develop libraries of composable graphics depicting canonical anatomy that will be augmented with computer-readable semantics. Aim 3: To demonstrate use of the FMHA and standardized graphics to address real-world needs in research, education, and clinical contexts, we will expand our graphic libraries beyond depictions of canonical anatomy and develop two web applications. Aim 4: To demonstrate how developers can leverage the FMHA and graphics in their own web applications, we will develop a web application for graphically-driven exploration of the Disease Ontology. By developing the FMHA and anatomical graphics libraries as highly-curated resources, they will serve as trustworthy knowledge sources for biomedical applications in data science. By integrating text- based and visual representations of anatomy, we will help to ensure that researchers accurately annotate the anatomical content of datasets and models using FMHA classes, thereby helping to preserve the integrity of integrated datasets and models. 1

项目摘要 本体以一种既可被计算机使用， 人生物医学本体提供了现代医学的基础知识的标准化表示， 生物医学研究，并作为知识基础，使智能软件应用程序。的 解剖学基础模型（FMA）是人体解剖学的本体论， 第一个生物医学本体论。经过20年的发展，影响企业能力的两个问题 FMA继续作为标准化的，可计算的人体解剖学知识的来源， 变得明显：首先，建模方案的变化和作者之间的变化已经引入 不一致，例如身体内的类似结构以略微不同的方式表示。 第二，本体依赖于文本和逻辑表示，而视觉表示往往更多 有效地交流解剖学知识。这些问题凸显了下一代 为计算机和人使用而优化的人体解剖学资源。 在这个项目中，我们将进行人体解剖学本体的协同发展， 人体解剖学的标准化视觉表现。目标1：建立人类的本体论 适合于计算推理的解剖学，将作为下一代的知识库 在医疗信息系统中，我们将创建人体解剖学基础模型（FMHA）， FMA的衍生物。目的2：提供人体解剖学的标准化可视化表示 在信息系统中，我们将开发描述规范解剖学的可组合图形库 它将被计算机可读的语义增强。目标3：演示FMHA的使用， 标准化的图形，以满足现实世界的需要，在研究，教育和临床背景下，我们将 扩展我们的图形库，使其超出规范解剖学的范围，并开发两个网络应用程序。 目标4：演示开发人员如何在自己的Web中利用FMHA和图形 应用程序，我们将开发一个网络应用程序，用于以图形方式探索疾病 本体论。 通过开发FMHA和解剖图形库作为高度策划的资源，他们将 作为数据科学中生物医学应用的可靠知识来源。通过整合文本- 基于解剖学的可视化表示，我们将帮助确保研究人员准确地 使用FMHA类注释数据集和模型的解剖内容，从而帮助 保持综合数据集和模型的完整性。 1
