Presentation Transcript

  1. Ontologizing morphological terms for Hymenoptera (Insecta) - implementing and benefiting from a controlled vocabulary Andrew R. Deans Gregory A. Riccardi Fredrik Ronquist School of Computational Science, Florida State University

  2. Hymenoptera • one of 4 megadiverse insect orders (>115,000 described spp.) • includes sawflies, ants, bees, social wasps, parasitic wasps

  3. Hymoptera Relationships

  4. HymAToL - Assembling the Tree of Life for Hymenoptera >30 people collaborating to resolve relationships between the major lineages of Hymenoptera molecules morphology

  5. Terminological Issues same spelling but different structure (e.g., “face”)

  6. Terminological Issues same structure but different spelling “ungues” or “(pre)tarsal claw”

  7. Terminological Issues alitrunk outdated terms (=to be discouraged) or taxon-specific terms gaster obscure terms

  8. Ontology - controlled, explicit vocabulary • includes relationships (“part of”, “synonym of”, etc.) • hierarchical • treats outdated terminology • terms are verbally defined and illustrated Several ways to implement and benefit...

  9. Search for - “claw” “pretarsus” “orbicula” “ungues”

  10. OR Search for - “pretarsus” + related terms

  11. Annotations

  12. Phylogenetic tools • high-lighting • feedback

  13. Other implementations/benefits • online atlas of hymenopteran morphology • “approved” terminology (ISH)
