Abstract
Biomedical ontologies with many types of relations allow a domain of interest to be modeled with a high level of semantic specificity and expressivity. However, the complexity of modeling with many relations can introduce inconsistencies and errors into the representation. Using the Foundational Model of Anatomy as a case study, we identified and analyzed the musculoskeletal content to show both consistencies and inconsistencies in the use of relations for modeling. We also share our early work in addressing the problem of consistency in ontology modeling through use of ontology-specific design patterns.
