PATO:OWL

From NCBO Wiki

PATO can be converted to OWL using standard OboInOwl:Main_Page Obo-to-OWL converters. Each PATO term is a representation of a type of quality, and can be represented using an owl:Class.

[edit] Representing phenotypic EQ statements as OWL set intersections

Most EQ statements represent a quality inhering in a bearer entity; in OWL Abstract Syntax. For example, "tail length" as

 intersectionOf(PATO:Length someValuesFrom(RO:inheres_in MA:Tail))

(using labels rather than numeric IDs for readability)

The inheres_in relation will be defined in the RO:Main_Page OBO-Relation ontology

Others can be defined using the towards relation; eg

 intersectionOf(PATO:Sensitivity someValuesFrom(RO:towards CHEBI:Chlorine))

[edit] Measurements

TODO

a measurement would be an instance of a PATO:Unit linked to an instance of a quality and a magnitude
