A spectrum of multiscale biomedical structures (arrayed vertically) is encoded by a set of overlapping biomedical structural ontologies (outlined boxes). To assure orthogonality across candidate ontologies, the spectrum may be partitioned, for example, by gray horizontal bars. FMA = Foundational Model of Anatomy Ontology [2]. CL = Cell Type Ontology [3]. GO = Gene Ontology [4]. ChEBI = Chemical Entities of Biological Interest [5].
