Dear Andras, thank you so much for doing this. I downloaded the file you generated.
This is important to optimize, because if search takes longer than manually renaming a segment, it is unlikely that people will bother to use the terminologies.
At this point, everything seems to be listed under the “anatomical structure”. We should divide this into other contexts, such as skeletal system, muscles, organs etc. To make navigating the list easier and faster.
The only modifier we need is the L/R, and for some of the skeletal terms Uberon seem to provide left and right as separate structures. So at this point I can’t think of other usage, but I will check with my colleagues.
We have about 20 visually distinct colors. I think the idea is to use these colors in regions that are closeby or in articulation (e.g., cranial bones), and then recycle them for different anatomical regions. Assigning same color to patella and scapula wouldn’t hurt the visual representation, as they are not near by. Most of our segmentations are bones, so having a fixed color for bone types will not really work for us.
