Anatomy Knowledge Graph

The semantic knowledge graph shows the description of a multicellular organism. It consists of instances (purple-bordered boxes), each of which instantiates a specific ontology class (yellow-bordered boxes with rounded corners) through the type property. All instances referring to anatomical entities possess a human-readable label (grey-bordered box connected through the label property) and are connected with one another via parthood relations, forming a partonomy indicating that the multicellular organism instance possesses an insect head instance that, in turn, possesses an antenna instance. The multicellular organism instance is further described to have a flattened shape and a measured live weight of 84.3 milligrams. The semantic graph is organized and fragmented into different sub-graphs, each of which is contained in its own named graph (dashed-bordered colored boxes). Each sub-graph contains information relating to a specific perceptual question that can only be answered empirically. In other words, each named graph contains a separate empirical observation. The Semantic Instance Anatomy is the union of all the named graphs.
