This article discusses the nature of anatomical information and the design of a system for organizing and accessing it. The Digital Anatomist Project aims to "put anatomy on a computer." Both the content and the structure-based information system should have wide applicability outside the initial implementation. Example applications show the potential for reusing the same information in contexts ranging from education to clinical medicine, as well as the role of graphics in visualizing and interacting with anatomical representations.
