These points may be important, but as much as I love The Worm (and despise zebrafish), they do seem to be somewhat separate from issues of applied ontology.

But fear not, Worm fans; there exist more Elegans weapons, from more civilized times - eg.

The Worm phenotype ontology: http://www.obofoundry.org/cgi-bin/detail.cgi?id=worm_phenotype

Described in:
Schindelman, G., Fernandes, J. S., Bastiani, C. A., Yook, K., & Sternberg, P. W. (2011). Worm Phenotype Ontology: integrating phenotype data within and beyond the C. elegans community. BMC bioinformatics, 12(1), 32.

Models of neural networks that have such classically simplified neurons are used for different purposes than the  models used in simulations.

The following book series may be of interest:
