Connected_to and attached_to • Shared boundary between objects • Bona fide vs. fiat - when does it matter?
Connected_to: fiat boundary Example: axon tract connected_to neuropil • FMA definition:Structural anatomical relation which holds between each anatomical structure of type A and some anatomical structure of type B such that each structure shares some part of its bona fide anatomical surface with that of the other. • Barry’s definition (from obo-discuss): x is connected_to y if x and y share a fiat boundary.
Attached_to: bona fide boundary • Examples: • Muscle attached_to bone • Tooth attached_to bone • FMA definition: Connected_to relation which holds between each anatomical entity of type A and some anatomical entity of type B such that there is no bona fide boundary between their contiguous constitutional parts. Sire et al. 1998 Sire et al. 1998
Attached_to: bona fide boundary • Bone + bone attachment • can also be called joint
Bona fide boundary example • Tooth attached_to bone Sire et al. 1998 Sire 2001

Phenoscape need for spatial terms • Occurrences of quality (PATO) terms in 1,040 character descriptions • Sample character: Posterior margin of lateral ethmoid: (0) straight, parallel to anterior edge of orbitosphenoid & abruptly angled at midline; (1) broadly curved in ventral view, forming convex arc.

Examples • Spatial terms as anatomical qualifiers: • “anterior margin of supraorbital bone” • BSPO:anterior margin part_of TAO:supraorbital bone • Spatial terms as modifiers for quality terms: • “frontal bone laterally compressed” • E: frontal; • PATO:compressed has_axis BSPO:left/right axis
