FMA

One of our major projects in SIG is the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) (http://fma.biostr.washington.edu). The FMA is a detailed and highly organized symbolic representation of the structural components of the human body formulated in a manner processable by software applications. The FMA knowledge base empowers such application with expert knowledge of anatomy upon which further inference can be based. My work has primarily centered around designing and building software to support or augment the FMA. This includes application for browsing and querying the model as well as tools to assist in its development and maintenance.
