I like this idea - abstract the ontology to make it more manageable, then when required just expand it out again.
- Allyson Lister
Conceptual lego -- it's the way forward!
- Phil Lord
The FMA shrinks by up to 57% (in the subset they've used). :)
- Allyson Lister
@Phil - I like that imagery!
- Allyson Lister
@Ally not mine, I'm afraid.
- Phil Lord
@Phil - ah well, it's nice anyway :)

I wonder which version of the ontology is faster for reasoning.
- Robert Hoehndorf
Should be much the same, I would have thought. The smaller one will be quicker to parse in practice!
- Phil Lord
@Robert good question - @Phil but wouldn't that much of a reduction in that subset of the FMA make a difference to the reasoning as well as the parsing?
- Allyson Lister
The reasoner would have to infer the existence of many more classes with a smaller version of the FMA, so it could go both ways, I guess.
