There is a kind of classification system that is used in medicine.
The "process of living" includes many hundreds of thousands of
sub-processes that must work in harmony for the individual to remain alive
In the spirit of the HCLS Banff demo, AnatomyLens provides a search
over annotations of PubMed articles and GOA annotations using the GO
(gene ontology) and FMA (Foundational Model of Anatomy) ontologies.
Here's a brief description:
