This Fish Ontology is an ontology created as to how the author views the fish structure following the book "The Diversity of Fishes: Biology, Evolution and Ecology" as the main reference, which covers one part of the view on ichthyology, with an emphasis on diversity and adaptation. This ontology is created with the mindset of categorizing fish automatically based on the attributes and terms mined from the fish specimen.
Most of the basic organization from this ontology follows Nelson's research due to its synthetic and broad approach while recognizing that Nelson's conclusions are one of many alternative interpretations of literature, which is mostly agreed by our main references, and many fish and fisheries researchers.
Most of the classification used in this ontology is by no means completed and just following the recent classification provided by the books
For now, our work focused more on two groups of fish which are early jawless fish, and advanced jawed fishes. The classification from both of these groups are structured following the reference.
