Foundational Model of Anatomy

Official FMA website

We use a subset of the FMA that was translated into the OWL and is provided through the OBO Foundry:

FMA subset at the OBO Foundry

Namespace

URI

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/fma.owl

Prefix

fma

Version

2.0

Documentation

Note that the OBO subset uses different naming conventions for classes and properties. Class IRIs end on 'FMA_####', where '####' stands for the FMA identifier number. Property IRIs end on 'fma#property_name', where 'property_name' stands for the name of the property with words being linked by underscores. This may create confusion when working with ontology editors where general naming conventions can be defined for the whole ontology.

These browsers are based on the original data base version of the FMA, not on the OWL translation provided by the OBO Foundry (cf. above).

Online documentation

The ontology is not documented in detail. There is only introductory material available.

Introduction on the FMA website

Provides information on the aims and the making of the FMA but does not touch upon the data structure itself.
