Morphological studies of insects can help us to understand the concomitant or sequential functionality of complex structures and may be used to hypothetize distinct levels of phylogenetic relationship among groups. Traditional morphological works, generally, have encompassed a set of elements, including descriptions of structures and their respective conditions, literature references and images, all combined in a single document. Fast forward to the digital era, it is now possible to release this information simultaneously but also independently as data sets linked to the original publication in an external environment. In order to link data from various fields of knowledge, disseminating morphological information in an open environment, it is important to use tools that enhance interoperability. For example, semantic annotations facilitate the dissemination and retrieval of phenotypic data in digital environments. The integration of semantic (i.e. web-based) components with anatomic treatments can be used to generate a traditional description in natural language along with a set of semantic annotations. The ant genus Strumigenys currently comprises about 840 described species distributed worldwide. In the Neotropical region, almost 200 species are currently known, but it is possible that much of the species' diversity there remains unexplored and undescribed. The morphological diversity in the genus is high, reflecting an extreme generic reclassification that occurred in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Here we define the anatomical concepts in this highly diverse group of ants using semantic annotations to enrich the anatomical ontologies available online, focussing on the definition of terms through subjacent conceptualization.

在解剖学术语中使用受控词汇：以Strumigenys（膜翅目：Formicidae）为例。

昆虫的形态学研究可以帮助我们理解复杂结构的伴随功能或顺序功能，并且可以用于假设不同群体之间的系统发生关系水平。通常，传统形态学作品包含了一组元素，包括结构及其各自条件的描述，文献参考和图像，所有这些元素都组合在一个文档中。快进数字时代，现在可以同时在外部环境中发布这些信息，也可以将其作为链接到原始出版物的数据集独立发布。为了链接来自各个知识领域的数据，在开放的环境中传播形态信息，使用增强互操作性的工具非常重要。例如，语义注释有助于在数字环境中传播和检索表型数据。语义（即基于Web的）组件与解剖结构的集成可用于生成自然语言的传统描述以及一组语义注释。蚂蚁Strumigenys目前包括约840个描述的物种，分布在世界各地。在新热带地区，目前已知近200种，但仍有许多物种的多样性尚未探索和描述。该属的形态多样性很高，反映了在20世纪末和21世纪初发生的极端的通用重新分类。
