Abstract
The inner ear is physically inaccessible in living
humans, which leads to unique difficulties in studying its
normal function and pathology as in other human organs.
Recently, biosimulation model has gained a significant attention
to understand the exact causative factors that give rise to impairment
in human organs. However, to build a biosimulation
model for human organ concepts and their topological relationships
from multiple and semantically overlapping domains
such as biology, anatomy, geometrical, mathematical, physical
models are required. In this paper, we focus on modelling
the inner-ear macro anatomical concepts and their topological
relationships. We extended the Foundational Model of Anatomy
(FMA) ontology to cover micro-level version of human innerear
anatomy where connection between simulating tissues,
liquids, soft tissues and connecting adjacent (e.g. hair cells,
perilymph) parts studied in detail, included and implemented
