This wikibase is a shot at formalizing meanings for cell types and cell type descriptors.  
This wikibase is a shot at formalizing meanings for cell types and cell type descriptors.  
There are, of course, well structured efforts with similar goals, such as the [Cell Ontology https://github.com/obophenotype/cell-ontology]. This is a bit more exploratory, and admittedly less structured.

== Properties ==  
== Properties ==


== Basic classification properties ==
* [[Property:P1|instance of]] (e.g. a "human neuron" is an instance of "cell type (strictu sensu)")
* [[Property:P2|subclass of]] (e.g. a "human neuron" is a subclass of "neuron")
* [[Property:P8|Wikidata ID]] Close match on Wikidata (similar to [https://www.w3.org/TR/skos-reference/#L4858 skos:closeMatch])


== Cell type specific properties ==
These are properties that all items for instances of cell types should have
=== Definition properties ===
These properties have the weight of complete definitions. They are indisputable, as they are part of the definition of the class. Changing definitions is advisable only for clarifications.
The real-world existence might be challenged, but this is still unmodelled.
* [[Property:P5|has scope]] - the taxon or taxons in the scope for this conceptualization of cell type (e.g. "human neuron" has scope "Homo sapiens")
* [[Property:P6|natural language definition]] - a natural language definition of this cell type. (e.g. "human neuron" has natural language definition "cells capable of transmitting electrical impulses).
** Note that the natural language definition will likely have some ambiguity, as this is a feature of natural languages. Ideally, the description should be described by dedicated properties, allowing  computable definitions, but this is an arduous, at least decade-long task. The scope doesn't need to be stated again in the natural language definition, as it is already parsed my [[Property:P5|has scope]].
=== Description properties ===
These properties serve to describe the classes defined by the properties above. They are disputable, and may be seem as hypothesis regarding the defined cell types.


== Model items ==
== Model items ==
* [[Item:Q19|Type 2 AS DC (Technotype / Villani et al, 2017)]]
