  •   Question Terminologia Anatomica (Q286567) might be classical Latin language which cannot be copyrighted. Alternatively, it might be a copyrightable identification system owned by International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (Q2896474), especially if they are making odd arbitrary decisions to give new nonstandard names in Latin language to anything. I am not familiar enough with this system to confirm that it should not be copyrightable. Can anyone give an opinion about whether any part of Terminologia Anatomica might be copyrighted, or whether the organization publishing the system claims a copyright over it?

    • I'm no legal expert but in general names are usually not protected by copyright. I can call an iPhone an iPhone without violating copyright. Suis genesis database rights last 15 years, so the TA98 should be out of it.

Given that Wikipedia didn't get real problems with CAS numbers and there the authoring organisation cares about asserting copyright, I don't see why the Terminologia Anatomica would be different. ChristianKl (talk) 07:06, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's what native is supposed to be. A native name is of a different nature than a name from a controlled vocabulary. ChristianKl (talk) 15:47, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Given that individual Wiki's might want to import TA98 names, having a specific property for it would be useful to import them via a bot from the official website (https://www.unifr.ch/ifaa/Public/EntryPage/TA98%20Tree/Entity%20TA98%20EN/02.1.15.001%20Entity%20TA98%20EN.htm). Given the website lists FMA-ID and most of our anatomy items have those ID's, it should be possible to import properly referenced high quality data about the names of TA98.
