The mx database infrastructure (Yoder et al., in prep) includes an ontology building module that is easy to use and quite powerful. We're using mx as the backend of our Hymenoptera Glossary. Information on how to use it is included below.


Welcome Screen
The first screen you see when you log in and select the Hymenoptera Ontology project link.

Search for Term

Search for Reference
If you have a list of terms from a reference you'll want to make sure your reference is already in the database.

Add a Reference
If your reference is not in the database already you'll want to add it before adding your term(s).

Add a Relationship
After your term is added you'll want to enter its relationships (e.g., your term is "part of" or a "type of" something).

Add Tags
You can "tag" your term with alternative spellings, alternative definitions (different wording for the same concept - NOT entirely different definitions, which should have their own entries), your own comments etc. using the tag function.

If you made an error in your tag (e.g., wrong reference, page numbers, etc.) you can edit it.
