Abstract
We used the Plant Ontology (PO) and the Phenotype And Trait Ontology (PATO) to extract entity-quality relationships from digitized taxon descriptions in Floras, and used a formal ontological approach based on phenotype description patterns and automated reasoning to generate the FLOPO. See more...

Description*
The Flora Phenotype Ontology (FLOPO) is an ontology of phenotypes reported in Floras. The original version was developed at the pro-iBiosphere Hackathon in Leiden. This is the pre-classified version of the ontology. The Flora Phenotype Ontology is generated from the Flora Malesiana, Flora Gabon, Flora of Central Africa, and a collection of Kew's African Floras. Every class in the ontology has at least one taxon annotation. The (draft) taxon annotation are available at http://jagannath.pdn.cam.ac.uk/plant/flora/clean-rerun/, Traits and phenotypes of flowering plants occurring in digitized Floras. See more...

Known usage
The FLOPO is primarily intended as a framework based on which plant traits can be integrated computationally across all species and higher taxa of flowering plants. Importantly, it is not intended to replace established vocabularies or ontologies, but rather serve as an overarching framework based on which different application- and domain-specific ontologies, thesauri and vocabularies of phenotypes observed in flowering plants can be integrated.
