Collembola Anatomy Ontology (CLAO) includes anatomical terms to refer to sclerites, anatomical systems, cell components, and chaetotaxy. CLAO is directed towards building semantic annotations or the production of morphological data employing a standardized language. CLAO is intended as a complementary tool to morhological descriptions during taxonomic work, before obtaining phylogenetic characters.
The latest version of the ontology can always be found at:

Please use this GitHub repository's Issue tracker to request new terms/classes or report errors or specific concerns related to the ontology.
The development of CLAO is supported by MINCIENCIAS (Colombia)
