TaxonRank

The "TaxonRank" concept allows to identify the type of taxon in which an object, process or relation is found. The "TaxonRank" concept allows to identify the type of taxon in which an object, process or relation is found. The "TaxonRank" concept manages a hierarchy of concepts at various levels of granularity. The corresponding hierarchical taxonomy is that provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) up to the rank of species and subspecies ("Species" and "Subspecies" concepts, respectively) in order to establish complete interoperability with generalist databases. Since genes of the immunoglobulins (or antibodies) (IG), T cell receptors (TR) and major histocompatibility complex (MH) are only present in jawed vertebrates (gnathostoma), only vertebrate species were originally represented in IMGT-ONTOLOGY. However, with the extension of IMGT-ONTOLOGY to the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) and MH superfamily (MhSF), invertebrate species are incorporated whenever necessary. The "EthnicGroup", "Breed" and "Strain" concepts have been added to IMGT-ONTOLOGY to allow the identification of data specific to ethnic groups for humans (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/imgt/hla/help/ethnic_help.html), breeds for domestic animals or strains for laboratory and wild animals.
