title: Restructuring the foundational model of anatomy.
abstract: The authors present a method to convert the FMA to a description logic-based representation in OWL. The concepts denoting anatomical structures are aligned to the DOLCE formal top-level ontology, and converted to a compact core ontology in the spirit of GALEN. The paper presents the identified problems in the FMA and the main aspects of the re-modelling.
