Its stereotyped anatomy and development has stimulated research and resulted in the accumulation
of cell-based information concerning gene expression, and the role of specific cells
in developmental signalling and behavioural circuits. To make the information more
accessible to sophisticated queries and automated retrieval systems, WormBase has
begun to construct a <italic>C. elegans cell</italic> and anatomy ontology. Here we present our
strategies and progress.</p>
