abstract = {Brain atlases are important reference resources for
accurate anatomical description of neuroscience data. Open
access, three-dimensional atlases serve as spatial
frameworks for integrating experimental data and defining
regions-of-interest in analytic workflows. However, naming
conventions, parcellation criteria, area definitions, and
underlying mapping methodologies differ considerably between
atlases and across atlas versions. This lack of
standardization impedes use of atlases in analytic tools and
registration of data to different atlases. To establish a
machine-readable standard for representing brain atlases, we
identified four fundamental atlas elements, defined their
relations, and created an ontology model. Here we present
our Atlas Ontology Model (AtOM) and exemplify its use by
applying it to mouse, rat, and human brain atlases. We
propose minimum requirements for FAIR atlases and discuss
how AtOM may facilitate atlas interoperability and data
integration. AtOM provides a standardized framework for
communication and use of brain atlases to create, use, and
refer to specific atlas elements and versions. We argue that
AtOM will accelerate analysis, sharing, and reuse of
neuroscience data.},
