Abstract

Structural information can be defined as data and knowledge about biological objects ranging in size
from molecules to the whole body. A framework is described for organizing structural information
around a well-defined set of terminology and semantic relationships, and for disseminated
multimedia structural information by means of a wide-area information server that is accessible over
the internet. A Macintosh-based client of this server, called the Digital Anatomist Browser, has
been used to teach neuroanatomy for the last 2 years. The client-server approach provides each
student unlimited access to a rapidly growing knowledge base of structral biology that, while
immediately useful for anatomy teaching, has the potential to be an organizing framework for other
kinds of medial knowledge as well.
