Inclusion Lattice of Ontologies

Below is the lattice of ontologies in this library. Each ontology defines a set of formal terms. Ontologies include (import from) other ontologies. Terms in an included ontology are in the namespace of the ontologies that include it. In the lattice below, an ontology includes those ontologies that it is indented under.
