The phrase "as a foundational model" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a primary or essential framework or system that serves as a basis for further development or understanding.
Example: "The algorithm was designed as a foundational model for future research in machine learning."
Alternatives: "as a core model" or "as a basic framework".
Arguments have been advanced for and against category theory as a foundational framework.
Lawvere from early on promoted the idea that a category of categories could be used as a foundational framework.
For example, an ontology for human anatomy such as the Foundational Model of Anatomy [ 20] will not only contain the classes and relations relevant to describe human anatomy, but also provide a large set of terms used to refer to human anatomical structures and the ways in which they may be related (as labels of the relations).
The fly genus Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae) has served as the foundational model system in animal genetics for more than a century (Morgan 1910; Sturtevant 1913) and has been the source of crucial insights into many biological processes.
These findings have implications for educators involved in designing online learning applications and will be used to develop a prototype of individualized online learning environment based on the pedagogy and andragogy as its foundational model.
Existing neuroanatomical ontologies, databases and information systems, such as the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA), represent outgoing connections from brain structures, but cannot represent the "internal wiring" of structures and as such, cannot distinguish between different independent connections from the same structure.
We used CREATE as the foundational model for selecting quantitative outcome measures and qualitative interview questions to evaluate the PEAK program.
For example, the components and parts of organisms are described in anatomy ontologies such as the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA; Rosse and Mejino, 2003) or the cellular component branch of the Gene Ontology (GO; Ashburner et al., 2000).
Since the tools discussed in this paper have been developed on the principles of general applicability, it is expected that other terminology systems such as GALEN or, FMA Foundational Model of Anatomy, can serve as a second use-case.
I see it as a foundational element to our business model.
