SERNEC Live Plant Imaging Group Standard Views Hierarchy v. 0.9.4

About the hierarchy

This page is the human-readable version of the SLPIG Standard Views hierarchy having the URI:

     http://bioimages.vanderbilt.edu/rdf/stdview

which resolves to this page in a web browser.  The RDF version :

     http://bioimages.vanderbilt.edu/rdf/stdview.rdf

described in RDFS, is served to user-agents requesting MIME Content-Type: application/rdf+xml

A simplified XML representation is here.  The components of this ontology are expressed in the element attributes and the corresponding Morphbank views form the content of the elements.

 

The standard views listed below were published in Baskauf, S.J. and B.K. Kirchoff (2008) Digital plant images as specimens: toward standards for photographing living plants.  Vulpina 7:16-30 .  The text in Times font is taken from that paper with views printed in bold considered of primary importance.  Figure numbers refer to figures in the paper.  Some of these views were modified or deleted based on discussion of the SERNEC Live Plant Imaging Group in 2007-08.  Those changes are indicated by the Arial font.  The unspecified categories were added at the creation of this ontology.

 

The qualified term names for the standard views are for the namespace

     http://bioimages.vanderbilt.edu/rdf/stdview#

are assigned the prefix  stdview:.  Thus the term for the view of a mature female gymnosperm cone, having the URI:

     http://bioimages.vanderbilt.edu/rdf/stdview#030502

would be abbreviated stdview:030502

 

Each view in this hierarchical ontology corresponds to a defined Morphbank view.  Several hierarchical standard views in this ontology may refer to the same Morphbank view.  The Morphbank views can be retrieved by appending

http://www.morphbank.net/?id=

represented by the prefix morphbank:

to the listed Morphbank ID number.  The hyperlinks below are linked to those pages.

Note: because the standard views for ferns and cacti published in Baskauf and Kirchoff (2008) are less mature than the other categories, they have not been incorporated in the formal ontology at this point.  Placeholder categories have been established as shown below.
