Navigation in the taxonomy

Click the red buttons at nodes of the top TA hierarchy to open it. Click the green button of any branch of the hierarchy to close it. Click an orange button to reopen it. Click any section marked by a blank button to access its taxonomic page.

The taxonomy is essentially the taxonomy of the Fundational Model of Anatomy. It covers the domain of Terminologia Anatomica with a superior degree of details. This means that one can expect to find all anatomical entities of TA, but other entities are also present in the original FMA ontology. At no point the here presented taxonomy pretends to cover to whole FMA model: we are here limited to a subset. If necessary, the hyperlinks to the FMA implementation provides a way to compare the contents.

Due to the fact that the TNA has been published in 2022, representing a considerable gap of scientific developments relatively to the original FMA publication, it has been necessary to create new entries in the taxonomy and to modify a number of existing entities. However, the authors of TNA have limited the number of changes to what was strictly necessary. These possible changes are visible explicitely on the Unit Pages.

The selections on this page are all branches of the taxonomy at the T1 level and at T2 level. When this page first open, only the T1 selections are visible. T2 levels becomes visible on user action.

The part of the taxonomy on non-physical entities is not related to the FMA, but is an original development of TA. Four sections are presented: 1) a couple of sections about nonphysical references; 2) a taxonomy of the relations implied in the terminology; 3) a taxonomy of the vocabulary of the terminology; 4) a taxonomy of the representation terms or strings in use for the interface of the terminology, especially the website.

The multilingual presentation of the taxonomy is presently a partially implemented capability, but most selections at LAENEN, LAFREN and LAESEN are satisfied.
