Fig. 1. Concepts of classification for IMGT gene and allele nomenclature (CLASSIFICATION axiom) [16, 26].
A Hierarchy of the concepts of classification and their relationships. The definition of the reciprocal relations between concepts can be read, from one concept to the other, either ascending the hierarchy (solid arrows) or descending the hierarchy (dotted arrows). B Examples of concept instances for each concept of classification. The concept instances are associated with an instance of the “Taxon” concept, and more precisely for the “Gene” and “Allele” concepts, to an instance of the “Species” concept (here, Homo sapiens). The “Locus” concept is a concept of localization (LOCALIZATION axiom). It is shown with a reciprocal relationship to the “Gene” concept. (With permission from M-P. Lefranc and G.
