&lt;div&gt;The OWL Converter is a plugin for OBOEdit to convert OBO format files into OWL files and vice-versa (keeping in mind that OWL to OBO conversions can lose information if one encodes things in OWL that cannot be expressed in OBO). It is also developed in a manner such that it can also work as a standalone conversion program.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;'''Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=General=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==NCBO==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Advancing biology and medicine with tools and methodologies for the structured organization of knowledge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is NCBO?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The National Center for Biomedical Ontology (http://www.biontology.org) is a consortium of leading biologists, clinicians, informaticians, and ontologists who develop innovative technology and methods that allow scientists to create, disseminate, and manage biomedical information and knowledge in machine-processable form. Our vision is that all biomedical knowledge and data are disseminated on the Internet using principled ontologies, such that the knowledge and data are semantically interoperable and useful for furthering biomedical science and clinical care. The Center’s products and technologies include BioPortal, Phenote+, Open Biomedical Resources (OBR), Biomedical Annotations Repository (BAR), and Open Biomedical Data (OBD).  Partner technologies include LexGrid, Protege, and Jambalaya.  The products and technologies are used to deliver repositories and tools for accessing and using this biomedical information in research. The Center collaborates with biomedical researchers conducting Driving Biological Projects (DBPs) to enable their research and to stimulate technology development in the Center. The Center is undertaking outreach and educational activities to train the future generation of researchers in using biomedical ontologies and the Center’s tools to enhance scientific discovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is an ontology?==&lt;br /&gt;
An ontology is a formal representation of a set of concepts/nodes within a domain and the relationships between those concepts. It is used to reason about the properties of that domain, and may be used to define the domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are the ontologies?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ontologies are available from BioPortal 2.0 at http://bioportal.bioontology.org. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I submit an ontology?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current protocol is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Go to BioPortal 2.0 at http://bioportal.bioontology.org&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) If you haven't already, click on the &amp;quot;Register&amp;quot; link in the top right hand corner.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) After you have registered as a user, &amp;quot;Sign In&amp;quot; as that user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4) Click on the &amp;quot;Browse&amp;quot; tab (or click on the following link: http://bioportal.bioontology.org)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5) Click on the &amp;quot;Submit Ontology&amp;quot; button and follow the instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is an annotation?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are the annotations?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I submit an annotation?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Building Ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I go about building an ontology?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are a plethora of tools for building ontologies.  Below are two preferred tools for building OWL and OBO ontologies:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Protege (http://protege.stanford.edu/) - OWL ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) OBOEdit (http://oboedit.org/) - OBO ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the OBO Foundry?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A collaborative experiment, involving a group of OBO ontology developers who have agreed in advance to the adoption of a growing set of principles specifying best practices in ontology development. These principles are designed to foster interoperability of ontologies within the broader OBO framework, and also to ensure a gradual improvement of quality and formal rigor in ontologies, in ways designed to meet the increasing needs of data and information integration in the biomedical domain.  See http://obofoundry.org/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=NCBO Products=&lt;br /&gt;
The NCBO has selected the Java/J2EE software infrastructure as the development of choice for all products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is BioPortal?==&lt;br /&gt;
A Web-based application for searching, sharing, visualizing, and analyzing a large repository of biomedical ontologies, terminologies, and annotations. BioPortal 2.0, the current release, is available at: http://bioportal.bioontology.org/. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BioPortal 2.0 allows for mappings between concepts, bulk export of mappings, visualization of concepts and relationships within ontologies, notes, and navigation of multiple ontologies through tabbed browsing. To see a demo of BioPortal 2.0, please visit http://bioontology.org/videos/demos/BioPortal_2.0_Demo.html.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Resources?==&lt;br /&gt;
A set of annotations generated automatically.  These annotations are presented through integration with BioPortal UI which enables researchers to search for biomedical resources associated (or annotated) with specific ontology terms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Services?==&lt;br /&gt;
A set of inter-related Java-based REST/SOAP services that use ontologies in BioPortal to perform concept recognition, ontology traversal, concept expansion, and to determine concept similarity.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Biomedical Annotation  Repository?==&lt;br /&gt;
TBD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Phenote?==&lt;br /&gt;
A Java client application for manual creation and storage of biomedical annotations (starting with phenotype annotations) using terms from multiple ontologies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Data?==&lt;br /&gt;
A database of manually generated biomedical annotations (starting with phenotype annotations) summarizing key attributes such as anatomy, phenotype, and genetic features. The annotations are currently loaded directly from a Phenote file, which contains the manually created annotations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===incomplete is-a paths===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many OBO ontologies are currently incomplete with respect to all classes/terms having an is-a parent. Many tools (including OBO-Edit and AmiGO) deliberately allow the conflation of relations when presenting the ontology as a DAG or a tree to the user. However, other tools (including Protege and SWOOP) do not. This means that some OBO ontologies can look unusual when viewed with these other tools (lots of classes appear at the root level).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently being addressed by the maintainers of OBO ontologies. An effort is underway to complete the is-a parentage in the GO cellular component ontology (biological process will be more difficult). The Plant Ontology Consortium are completing the is-a parentage in the plant anatomical structure ontology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until this work is complete, some OBO ontologies may look unusual when viewed in conventional ontology browsing and editing tools. With some of these tools, there may be some configurations which allow other relations to be conflated with the is-a relation when presenting the ontology as a DAG or tree view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One option is to automatically create an is-a parent to the ontology root for every non-root class/term which lacks any is-a parents. Note that this may create inconsistencies in the ontology if the genuine is-a parent is somewhere deeper in the ontology hierarchy; nevertheless this step may be necessary before presenting some OBO ontologies to tools such as reasoners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Details=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is NCBO Core 1?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is NCBO Core 2?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ontology Metadata==&lt;br /&gt;
The NCBO is planning to leverage the Ontology Metadata Vocabulary (OMV) format to store all ontology meta data.  Please see the following web site for more information on the format (http://omv.ontoware.org/).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OBO Format==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questions about the OBO text and xml formats&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is OBO Format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is OBO Format different from the old GO format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. The old dag-edit format (i.e. the one in which indentation was used to denote the GO hierarchy) is STRONGLY deprecated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where can I find the spec?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find details on the 1.0 spec on the GO home page&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.geneontology.org/GO.format.shtml#oboflat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This spec is somewhat underspecified&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1.2 spec is in preparation, and will be released to coincide with the first production OBO-Edit release sometime early in 2006&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find a preliminary version of the spec here:&lt;br /&gt;
HTML -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.html&lt;br /&gt;
PDF -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.pdf&lt;br /&gt;
Ascii text -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.txt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Why not use XML?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also an obo-xml format. See&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.godatabase.org/dev/xml&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently only available as DTD. Relax-NG and XSD coming soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a UML model?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there is a UML translation of the obo format in progress, produced by Harold Solbrig of Mayo clinic; see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://informatics.mayo.edu/schema/OBO/UMLModel/HTML/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What tools support Obo-Format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following are *ontology* tools that support the OBO format. There are many other tools for the analysis of gene ontology data which also happen to read the OBO format - see http://www.geneontology.org/GO.tools.shtml for a list&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; OBO-Edit&lt;br /&gt;
: (naturally!). You should use this rather than DAG-Edit (DAG-Edit still supports obo-1.0 format), as DAG-Edit is deprecated as of 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; COBRA&lt;br /&gt;
: developed by Stuart Aitken as part of http://www.xspan.org. COBRA is a java ontology editor/viewer for aligning ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; go-perl&lt;br /&gt;
: http://search.cpan.org/~cmungall/go-perl&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Using Protege with OBO ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have two options here - use the Protege OBO plugin, or convert to a format which Protege understands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OBO plugin was developed at the University of Washington, and is no longer supported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can convert any obo-format file to OWL and use Protege-OWL (but not Protege-classic); see the next entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that when you look at many of the OBO ontologies in Protege (classic or Protege-OWL) you will see that there are large amounts of classes apparently at the root level. This is because OBO ontologies have historically not been complete with respect to all classes having a superclass (is-a parent). This is currently being addressed. See the FAQ entry on this subject.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I convert Obo-format to OWL?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. At this present time, the best way of foing this is to use the xslts included in go-perl.&lt;br /&gt;
Download and install:&lt;br /&gt;
http://search.cpan.org/~cmungall/go-perl/&lt;br /&gt;
Then run the script&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   go2owl myontology.obo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This functionality will soon be available from oboedit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more details on the mapping, see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.fruitfly.org/~cjm/obol/doc/mapping-obo-to-owl.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===OK, but can I just download OBO ontologies as OWL without doing the conversion myself?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can, at least for some OBO ontologies. This is an experimental service, and will eventually be subsumed into the services provided by cBio:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.fruitfly.org/~cjm/obo-download&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I convert Obo-format files to Protege-classic?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not yet. In theory it should not be hard to provide an XSL for this. The reverse transformation may be more difficult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OBD==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is OBD?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OBD is a database for storing data typed using OBO ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where is it?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In development!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a demo?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See http://www.fruitfly.org/~cjm/obd&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You can find details on the 1.0 spec on the GO home page&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.geneontology.org/GO.format.shtml#oboflat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This spec is somewhat underspecified&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1.2 spec is in preparation, and will be released to coincide with the first production OBO-Edit release sometime early in 2006&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find a preliminary version of the spec here:&lt;br /&gt;
HTML -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.html&lt;br /&gt;
PDF -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.pdf&lt;br /&gt;
Ascii text -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.txt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Why not use XML?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also an obo-xml format. See&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.godatabase.org/dev/xml&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently only available as DTD. Relax-NG and XSD coming soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a UML model?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there is a UML translation of the obo format in progress, produced by Harold Solbrig of Mayo clinic; see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://informatics.mayo.edu/schema/OBO/UMLModel/HTML/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What tools support Obo-Format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following are *ontology* tools that support the OBO format. There are many other tools for the analysis of gene ontology data which also happen to read the OBO format - see http://www.geneontology.org/GO.tools.shtml for a list&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; OBO-Edit&lt;br /&gt;
: (naturally!). You should use this rather than DAG-Edit (DAG-Edit still supports obo-1.0 format), as DAG-Edit is deprecated as of 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; COBRA&lt;br /&gt;
: developed by Stuart Aitken as part of http://www.xspan.org. COBRA is a java ontology editor/viewer for aligning ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; go-perl&lt;br /&gt;
: http://search.cpan.org/~cmungall/go-perl&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Using Protege with OBO ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have two options here - use the Protege OBO plugin, or convert to a format which Protege understands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OBO plugin was developed at the University of Washington, and is no longer supported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can convert any obo-format file to OWL and use Protege-OWL (but not Protege-classic); see the next entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that when you look at many of the OBO ontologies in Protege (classic or Protege-OWL) you will see that there are large amounts of classes apparently at the root level. This is because OBO ontologies have historically not been complete with respect to all classes having a superclass (is-a parent). This is currently being addressed. See the FAQ entry on this subject.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I convert Obo-format to OWL?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. At this present time, the best way of foing this is to use the xslts included in go-perl.&lt;br /&gt;
Download and install:&lt;br /&gt;
http://search.cpan.org/~cmungall/go-perl/&lt;br /&gt;
Then run the script&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   go2owl myontology.obo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This functionality will soon be available from oboedit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more details on the mapping, see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.fruitfly.org/~cjm/obol/doc/mapping-obo-to-owl.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===OK, but can I just download OBO ontologies as OWL without doing the conversion myself?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can, at least for some OBO ontologies. This is an experimental service, and will eventually be subsumed into the services provided by cBio:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.fruitfly.org/~cjm/obo-download&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I convert Obo-format files to Protege-classic?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not yet. In theory it should not be hard to provide an XSL for this. The reverse transformation may be more difficult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OBD==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is OBD?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OBD is a database for storing data typed using OBO ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where is it?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In development!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a demo?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=General=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==NCBO==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Advancing biology and medicine with tools and methodologies for the structured organization of knowledge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is NCBO?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The National Center for Biomedical Ontology (http://www.biontology.org) is a consortium of leading biologists, clinicians, informaticians, and ontologists who develop innovative technology and methods that allow scientists to create, disseminate, and manage biomedical information and knowledge in machine-processable form. Our vision is that all biomedical knowledge and data are disseminated on the Internet using principled ontologies, such that the knowledge and data are semantically interoperable and useful for furthering biomedical science and clinical care. The Center’s products and technologies include BioPortal, Phenote+, Open Biomedical Resources (OBR), Biomedical Annotations Repository (BAR), and Open Biomedical Data (OBD).  Partner technologies include LexGrid, Protege, and Jambalaya.  The products and technologies are used to deliver repositories and tools for accessing and using this biomedical information in research. The Center collaborates with biomedical researchers conducting Driving Biological Projects (DBPs) to enable their research and to stimulate technology development in the Center. The Center is undertaking outreach and educational activities to train the future generation of researchers in using biomedical ontologies and the Center’s tools to enhance scientific discovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is an ontology?==&lt;br /&gt;
An ontology is a formal representation of a set of concepts/nodes within a domain and the relationships between those concepts. It is used to reason about the properties of that domain, and may be used to define the domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are the ontologies?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ontologies are available from BioPortal 2.0 at http://bioportal.bioontology.org. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I submit an ontology?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current protocol is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Go to BioPortal 2.0 at http://bioportal.bioontology.org&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) If you haven't already, click on the &amp;quot;Register&amp;quot; link in the top right hand corner.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) After you have registered as a user, &amp;quot;Sign In&amp;quot; as that user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4) Click on the &amp;quot;Browse&amp;quot; tab (or click on the following link: http://bioportal.bioontology.org)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5) Click on the &amp;quot;Submit Ontology&amp;quot; button and follow the instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is an annotation?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are the annotations?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I submit an annotation?===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Building Ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I go about building an ontology?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are a plethora of tools for building ontologies.  Below are two preferred tools for building OWL and OBO ontologies:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Protege (http://protege.stanford.edu/) - OWL ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) OBOEdit (http://oboedit.org/) - OBO ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the OBO Foundry?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A collaborative experiment, involving a group of OBO ontology developers who have agreed in advance to the adoption of a growing set of principles specifying best practices in ontology development. These principles are designed to foster interoperability of ontologies within the broader OBO framework, and also to ensure a gradual improvement of quality and formal rigor in ontologies, in ways designed to meet the increasing needs of data and information integration in the biomedical domain.  See http://obofoundry.org/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=NCBO Products=&lt;br /&gt;
The NCBO has selected the Java/J2EE software infrastructure as the development of choice for all products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is BioPortal?==&lt;br /&gt;
A Web-based application for accessing, sharing, visualizing, analyzing, uploading, and searching a large repository of biomedical ontologies, terminologies, and annotations. BioPortal 2.0 is the current release accessible through the following URL: http://bioportal.bioontology.org/. BioPortal 2.0 allows for mappings between concepts, bulk export of mappings, vizualization of concepts and relationships within ontologies, marginal notes, and navigation of multiple ontologies through tabbed browsing. To see a demo of BioPortal 2.0, please visit http://bioontology.org/videos/demos/BioPortal_2.0_Demo.html.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Resources?==&lt;br /&gt;
A set of annotations generated automatically.  These annotations are presented through integration with BioPortal UI which enables researchers to search for biomedical resources associated (or annotated) with specific ontology terms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Services?==&lt;br /&gt;
A set of inter-related Java-based REST/SOAP services that use ontologies in BioPortal to perform concept recognition, ontology traversal, concept expansion, and to determine concept similarity.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Biomedical Annotation  Repository?==&lt;br /&gt;
TBD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Phenote?==&lt;br /&gt;
A Java client application for manual creation and storage of biomedical annotations (starting with phenotype annotations) using terms from multiple ontologies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Data?==&lt;br /&gt;
A database of manually generated biomedical annotations (starting with phenotype annotations) summarizing key attributes such as anatomy, phenotype, and genetic features. The annotations are currently loaded directly from a Phenote file, which contains the manually created annotations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===incomplete is-a paths===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many OBO ontologies are currently incomplete with respect to all classes/terms having an is-a parent. Many tools (including OBO-Edit and AmiGO) deliberately allow the conflation of relations when presenting the ontology as a DAG or a tree to the user. However, other tools (including Protege and SWOOP) do not. This means that some OBO ontologies can look unusual when viewed with these other tools (lots of classes appear at the root level).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently being addressed by the maintainers of OBO ontologies. An effort is underway to complete the is-a parentage in the GO cellular component ontology (biological process will be more difficult). The Plant Ontology Consortium are completing the is-a parentage in the plant anatomical structure ontology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until this work is complete, some OBO ontologies may look unusual when viewed in conventional ontology browsing and editing tools. With some of these tools, there may be some configurations which allow other relations to be conflated with the is-a relation when presenting the ontology as a DAG or tree view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One option is to automatically create an is-a parent to the ontology root for every non-root class/term which lacks any is-a parents. Note that this may create inconsistencies in the ontology if the genuine is-a parent is somewhere deeper in the ontology hierarchy; nevertheless this step may be necessary before presenting some OBO ontologies to tools such as reasoners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Details=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is NCBO Core 1?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is NCBO Core 2?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ontology Metadata==&lt;br /&gt;
The NCBO is planning to leverage the Ontology Metadata Vocabulary (OMV) format to store all ontology meta data.  Please see the following web site for more information on the format (http://omv.ontoware.org/).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OBO Format==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questions about the OBO text and xml formats&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is OBO Format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is OBO Format different from the old GO format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. The old dag-edit format (i.e. the one in which indentation was used to denote the GO hierarchy) is STRONGLY deprecated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where can I find the spec?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find details on the 1.0 spec on the GO home page&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.geneontology.org/GO.format.shtml#oboflat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This spec is somewhat underspecified&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1.2 spec is in preparation, and will be released to coincide with the first production OBO-Edit release sometime early in 2006&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find a preliminary version of the spec here:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Why not use XML?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also an obo-xml format. See&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.godatabase.org/dev/xml&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently only available as DTD. Relax-NG and XSD coming soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a UML model?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there is a UML translation of the obo format in progress, produced by Harold Solbrig of Mayo clinic; see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://informatics.mayo.edu/schema/OBO/UMLModel/HTML/&lt;br /&gt;

A set of inter-related Java-based REST/SOAP services that use ontologies in BioPortal to perform concept recognition, ontology traversal, concept expansion, and to determine concept similarity.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Biomedical Annotation  Repository?==&lt;br /&gt;
TBD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Phenote?==&lt;br /&gt;
A Java client application for manual creation and storage of biomedical annotations (starting with phenotype annotations) using terms from multiple ontologies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Data?==&lt;br /&gt;
A database of manually generated biomedical annotations (starting with phenotype annotations) summarizing key attributes such as anatomy, phenotype, and genetic features. The annotations are currently loaded directly from a Phenote file, which contains the manually created annotations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===incomplete is-a paths===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many OBO ontologies are currently incomplete with respect to all classes/terms having an is-a parent. Many tools (including OBO-Edit and AmiGO) deliberately allow the conflation of relations when presenting the ontology as a DAG or a tree to the user. However, other tools (including Protege and SWOOP) do not. This means that some OBO ontologies can look unusual when viewed with these other tools (lots of classes appear at the root level).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently being addressed by the maintainers of OBO ontologies. An effort is underway to complete the is-a parentage in the GO cellular component ontology (biological process will be more difficult). The Plant Ontology Consortium are completing the is-a parentage in the plant anatomical structure ontology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until this work is complete, some OBO ontologies may look unusual when viewed in conventional ontology browsing and editing tools. With some of these tools, there may be some configurations which allow other relations to be conflated with the is-a relation when presenting the ontology as a DAG or tree view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One option is to automatically create an is-a parent to the ontology root for every non-root class/term which lacks any is-a parents. Note that this may create inconsistencies in the ontology if the genuine is-a parent is somewhere deeper in the ontology hierarchy; nevertheless this step may be necessary before presenting some OBO ontologies to tools such as reasoners.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==What is NCBO Core 2?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ontology Metadata==&lt;br /&gt;
The NCBO is planning to leverage the Ontology Metadata Vocabulary (OMV) format to store all ontology meta data.  Please see the following web site for more information on the format (http://omv.ontoware.org/).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OBO Format==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questions about the OBO text and xml formats&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is OBO Format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is OBO Format different from the old GO format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. The old dag-edit format (i.e. the one in which indentation was used to denote the GO hierarchy) is STRONGLY deprecated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where can I find the spec?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find details on the 1.0 spec on the GO home page&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.geneontology.org/GO.format.shtml#oboflat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This spec is somewhat underspecified&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1.2 spec is in preparation, and will be released to coincide with the first production OBO-Edit release sometime early in 2006&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find a preliminary version of the spec here:&lt;br /&gt;
HTML -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.html&lt;br /&gt;
PDF -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.pdf&lt;br /&gt;
Ascii text -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.txt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Why not use XML?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also an obo-xml format. See&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.godatabase.org/dev/xml&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently only available as DTD. Relax-NG and XSD coming soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a UML model?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there is a UML translation of the obo format in progress, produced by Harold Solbrig of Mayo clinic; see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://informatics.mayo.edu/schema/OBO/UMLModel/HTML/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What tools support Obo-Format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following are *ontology* tools that support the OBO format. There are many other tools for the analysis of gene ontology data which also happen to read the OBO format - see http://www.geneontology.org/GO.tools.shtml for a list&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; OBO-Edit&lt;br /&gt;
: (naturally!). You should use this rather than DAG-Edit (DAG-Edit still supports obo-1.0 format), as DAG-Edit is deprecated as of 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; COBRA&lt;br /&gt;
: developed by Stuart Aitken as part of http://www.xspan.org. COBRA is a java ontology editor/viewer for aligning ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; go-perl&lt;br /&gt;
: http://search.cpan.org/~cmungall/go-perl&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Using Protege with OBO ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have two options here - use the Protege OBO plugin, or convert to a format which Protege understands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OBO plugin was developed at the University of Washington, and is no longer supported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can convert any obo-format file to OWL and use Protege-OWL (but not Protege-classic); see the next entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that when you look at many of the OBO ontologies in Protege (classic or Protege-OWL) you will see that there are large amounts of classes apparently at the root level. This is because OBO ontologies have historically not been complete with respect to all classes having a superclass (is-a parent). This is currently being addressed. See the FAQ entry on this subject.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I convert Obo-format to OWL?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. At this present time, the best way of foing this is to use the xslts included in go-perl.&lt;br /&gt;
Download and install:&lt;br /&gt;
http://search.cpan.org/~cmungall/go-perl/&lt;br /&gt;
Then run the script&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   go2owl myontology.obo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This functionality will soon be available from oboedit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more details on the mapping, see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.fruitfly.org/~cjm/obol/doc/mapping-obo-to-owl.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===OK, but can I just download OBO ontologies as OWL without doing the conversion myself?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can, at least for some OBO ontologies. This is an experimental service, and will eventually be subsumed into the services provided by cBio:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.fruitfly.org/~cjm/obo-download&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I convert Obo-format files to Protege-classic?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not yet. In theory it should not be hard to provide an XSL for this. The reverse transformation may be more difficult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OBD==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is OBD?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OBD is a database for storing data typed using OBO ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where is it?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In development!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a demo?===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=General=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==NCBO==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Advancing biology and medicine with tools and methodologies for the structured organization of knowledge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is NCBO?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The National Center for Biomedical Ontology (http://www.biontology.org) is a consortium of leading biologists, clinicians, informaticians, and ontologists who develop innovative technology and methods that allow scientists to create, disseminate, and manage biomedical information and knowledge in machine-processable form. Our vision is that all biomedical knowledge and data are disseminated on the Internet using principled ontologies, such that the knowledge and data are semantically interoperable and useful for furthering biomedical science and clinical care. The Center’s products and technologies include BioPortal, Phenote+, Open Biomedical Resources (OBR), Biomedical Annotations Repository (BAR), and Open Biomedical Data (OBD).  Partner technologies include LexGrid, Protege, and Jambalaya.  The products and technologies are used to deliver repositories and tools for accessing and using this biomedical information in research. The Center collaborates with biomedical researchers conducting Driving Biological Projects (DBPs) to enable their research and to stimulate technology development in the Center. The Center is undertaking outreach and educational activities to train the future generation of researchers in using biomedical ontologies and the Center’s tools to enhance scientific discovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is an ontology?==&lt;br /&gt;
An ontology is a formal representation of a set of concepts/nodes within a domain and the relationships between those concepts. It is used to reason about the properties of that domain, and may be used to define the domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are the ontologies?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ontologies are available from BioPortal 2.0 at http://bioportal.bioontology.org. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I submit an ontology?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current protocol is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Go to BioPortal 2.0 at http://bioportal.bioontology.org&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) If you haven't already, click on the &amp;quot;Register&amp;quot; link in the top right hand corner.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) After you have registered as a user, &amp;quot;Sign In&amp;quot; as that user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4) Click on the &amp;quot;Browse&amp;quot; tab (or click on the following link: http://bioportal.bioontology.org)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5) Click on the &amp;quot;Submit Ontology&amp;quot; button and follow the instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is an annotation?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Building Ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I go about building an ontology?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are a plethora of tools for building ontologies.  Below are two preferred tools for building OWL and OBO ontologies:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Protege (http://protege.stanford.edu/) - OWL ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) OBOEdit (http://oboedit.org/) - OBO ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the OBO Foundry?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A collaborative experiment, involving a group of OBO ontology developers who have agreed in advance to the adoption of a growing set of principles specifying best practices in ontology development. These principles are designed to foster interoperability of ontologies within the broader OBO framework, and also to ensure a gradual improvement of quality and formal rigor in ontologies, in ways designed to meet the increasing needs of data and information integration in the biomedical domain.  See http://obofoundry.org/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=NCBO Products=&lt;br /&gt;
The NCBO has selected the Java/J2EE software infrastructure as the development of choice for all products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is BioPortal?==&lt;br /&gt;
A Web-based application for accessing, sharing, visualizing, analyzing, uploading, and searching a large repository of biomedical ontologies, terminologies, and annotations. BioPortal 2.0 is the current release accessible through the following URL: http://bioportal.bioontology.org/. To see a demo of BioPortal 2.0, please visit http://bioontology.org/videos/demos/BioPortal_2.0_Demo.html.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Resources?==&lt;br /&gt;
A set of annotations generated automatically.  These annotations are presented through integration with BioPortal UI which enables researchers to search for biomedical resources associated (or annotated) with specific ontology terms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Services?==&lt;br /&gt;
A set of inter-related Java-based REST/SOAP services that use ontologies in BioPortal to perform concept recognition, ontology traversal, concept expansion, and to determine concept similarity.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Biomedical Annotation  Repository?==&lt;br /&gt;
TBD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Phenote?==&lt;br /&gt;
A Java client application for manual creation and storage of biomedical annotations (starting with phenotype annotations) using terms from multiple ontologies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Data?==&lt;br /&gt;
A database of manually generated biomedical annotations (starting with phenotype annotations) summarizing key attributes such as anatomy, phenotype, and genetic features. The annotations are currently loaded directly from a Phenote file, which contains the manually created annotations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Building Ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I go about building an ontology?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are a plethora of tools for building ontologies.  Below are two preferred tools for building OWL and OBO ontologies:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Protege (http://protege.stanford.edu/) - OWL ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) OBOEdit (http://oboedit.org/) - OBO ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the OBO Foundry?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A collaborative experiment, involving a group of OBO ontology developers who have agreed in advance to the adoption of a growing set of principles specifying best practices in ontology development. These principles are designed to foster interoperability of ontologies within the broader OBO framework, and also to ensure a gradual improvement of quality and formal rigor in ontologies, in ways designed to meet the increasing needs of data and information integration in the biomedical domain.  See http://obofoundry.org/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=NCBO Products=&lt;br /&gt;
The NCBO has selected the Java/J2EE software infrastructure as the development of choice for all products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is BioPortal?==&lt;br /&gt;
A web-based application for accessing, sharing, visualizing, analyzing, uploading, and searching a large repository of biomedical ontologies, terminologies, and annotations. BioPortal 2.0 is the current release accessible through the following URL: http://bioportal.bioontology.org/. To see a demo of BioPortal 2.0, please visit http://bioontology.org/videos/demos/BioPortal_2.0_Demo.html.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Resources?==&lt;br /&gt;
A set of annotations generated automatically.  These annotations are presented through integration with BioPortal UI which enables researchers to search for biomedical resources associated (or annotated) with specific ontology terms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Services?==&lt;br /&gt;
A set of inter-related Java-based REST/SOAP services that use ontologies in BioPortal to perform concept recognition, ontology traversal, concept expansion, and to determine concept similarity.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Biomedical Annotation  Repository?==&lt;br /&gt;
TBD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Phenote?==&lt;br /&gt;
A Java client application for manual creation and storage of biomedical annotations (starting with phenotype annotations) using terms from multiple ontologies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is Open Biomedical Data?==&lt;br /&gt;
A database of manually generated biomedical annotations (starting with phenotype annotations) summarizing key attributes such as anatomy, phenotype, and genetic features. The annotations are currently loaded directly from a Phenote file, which contains the manually created annotations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===incomplete is-a paths===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many OBO ontologies are currently incomplete with respect to all classes/terms having an is-a parent. Many tools (including OBO-Edit and AmiGO) deliberately allow the conflation of relations when presenting the ontology as a DAG or a tree to the user. However, other tools (including Protege and SWOOP) do not. This means that some OBO ontologies can look unusual when viewed with these other tools (lots of classes appear at the root level).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently being addressed by the maintainers of OBO ontologies. An effort is underway to complete the is-a parentage in the GO cellular component ontology (biological process will be more difficult). The Plant Ontology Consortium are completing the is-a parentage in the plant anatomical structure ontology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until this work is complete, some OBO ontologies may look unusual when viewed in conventional ontology browsing and editing tools. With some of these tools, there may be some configurations which allow other relations to be conflated with the is-a relation when presenting the ontology as a DAG or tree view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One option is to automatically create an is-a parent to the ontology root for every non-root class/term which lacks any is-a parents. Note that this may create inconsistencies in the ontology if the genuine is-a parent is somewhere deeper in the ontology hierarchy; nevertheless this step may be necessary before presenting some OBO ontologies to tools such as reasoners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Details=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is NCBO Core 1?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What is NCBO Core 2?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ontology Metadata==&lt;br /&gt;
The NCBO is planning to leverage the Ontology Metadata Vocabulary (OMV) format to store all ontology meta data.  Please see the following web site for more information on the format (http://omv.ontoware.org/).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OBO Format==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questions about the OBO text and xml formats&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is OBO Format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is OBO Format different from the old GO format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. The old dag-edit format (i.e. the one in which indentation was used to denote the GO hierarchy) is STRONGLY deprecated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where can I find the spec?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find details on the 1.0 spec on the GO home page&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.geneontology.org/GO.format.shtml#oboflat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This spec is somewhat underspecified&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1.2 spec is in preparation, and will be released to coincide with the first production OBO-Edit release sometime early in 2006&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find a preliminary version of the spec here:&lt;br /&gt;
HTML -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.html&lt;br /&gt;
PDF -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.pdf&lt;br /&gt;
Ascii text -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.txt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Why not use XML?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also an obo-xml format. See&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.godatabase.org/dev/xml&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently only available as DTD. Relax-NG and XSD coming soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a UML model?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there is a UML translation of the obo format in progress, produced by Harold Solbrig of Mayo clinic; see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://informatics.mayo.edu/schema/OBO/UMLModel/HTML/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What tools support Obo-Format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following are *ontology* tools that support the OBO format. There are many other tools for the analysis of gene ontology data which also happen to read the OBO format - see http://www.geneontology.org/GO.tools.shtml for a list&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; OBO-Edit&lt;br /&gt;
: (naturally!). You should use this rather than DAG-Edit (DAG-Edit still supports obo-1.0 format), as DAG-Edit is deprecated as of 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; COBRA&lt;br /&gt;
: developed by Stuart Aitken as part of http://www.xspan.org. COBRA is a java ontology editor/viewer for aligning ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; go-perl&lt;br /&gt;
: http://search.cpan.org/~cmungall/go-perl&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Using Protege with OBO ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have two options here - use the Protege OBO plugin, or convert to a format which Protege understands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OBO plugin was developed at the University of Washington, and is no longer supported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can convert any obo-format file to OWL and use Protege-OWL (but not Protege-classic); see the next entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that when you look at many of the OBO ontologies in Protege (classic or Protege-OWL) you will see that there are large amounts of classes apparently at the root level. This is because OBO ontologies have historically not been complete with respect to all classes having a superclass (is-a parent). This is currently being addressed. See the FAQ entry on this subject.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I convert Obo-format to OWL?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. At this present time, the best way of foing this is to use the xslts included in go-perl.&lt;br /&gt;
Download and install:&lt;br /&gt;
http://search.cpan.org/~cmungall/go-perl/&lt;br /&gt;
Then run the script&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   go2owl myontology.obo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This functionality will soon be available from oboedit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more details on the mapping, see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.fruitfly.org/~cjm/obol/doc/mapping-obo-to-owl.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===OK, but can I just download OBO ontologies as OWL without doing the conversion myself?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can, at least for some OBO ontologies. This is an experimental service, and will eventually be subsumed into the services provided by cBio:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.fruitfly.org/~cjm/obo-download&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I convert Obo-format files to Protege-classic?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not yet. In theory it should not be hard to provide an XSL for this. The reverse transformation may be more difficult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OBD==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is OBD?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OBD is a database for storing data typed using OBO ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where is it?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In development!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a demo?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See http://www.fruitfly.org/~cjm/obd&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Datasets===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Frequently Asked Questions &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This FAQ is currently in alpha - please be patient...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=General=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==NCBO==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is NCBO?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
National Center for Biomedical Ontology http://www.bioontology.org&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OBO==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is OBO?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open Biomedical Ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where are the ontologies?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently on http://obo.sourceforge.net&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon to be moving to the NCBO site&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I submit an ontology?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current protocol is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Send an email to the obo-discuss mailing list, even if the ontology is in planning stages&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the ontology satisfies basic criteria, we will add it to the OBO metadata and it will appear on the OBO site&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon we will have an ontology submission service on the NCBO website&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Ontology Content=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Building Ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I go about building an ontology?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the OBO Foundry?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A collaborative experiment, involving a group of ontology developers who have agreed in advance to the adoption of a growing set of principles specifying best practices in ontology development. These principles are designed to foster interoperability of ontologies within the broader OBO framework, and also to ensure a gradual improvement of quality and formal rigor in ontologies, in ways designed to meet the increasing needs of data and information integration in the biomedical domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where is the OBO Foundry?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See http://obofoundry.org/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current Ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===incomplete is-a paths===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many OBO ontologies are currently incomplete with respect to all classes/terms having an is-a parent. Many tools (including OBO-Edit and AmiGO) deliberately allow the conflation of relations when presenting the ontology as a DAG or a tree to the user. However, other tools (including Protege and SWOOP) do not. This means that some OBO ontologies can look unusual when viewed with these other tools (lots of classes appear at the root level).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently being addressed by the maintainers of OBO ontologies. An effort is underway to complete the is-a parentage in the GO cellular component ontology (biological process will be more difficult). The Plant Ontology Consortium are completing the is-a parentage in the plant anatomical structure ontology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until this work is complete, some OBO ontologies may look unusual when viewed in conventional ontology browsing and editing tools. With some of these tools, there may be some configurations which allow other relations to be conflated with the is-a relation when presenting the ontology as a DAG or tree view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One option is to automatically create an is-a parent to the ontology root for every non-root class/term which lacks any is-a parents. Note that this may create inconsistencies in the ontology if the genuine is-a parent is somewhere deeper in the ontology hierarchy; nevertheless this step may be necessary before presenting some OBO ontologies to tools such as reasoners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Technical=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questions for cores 1 and 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OBO Format==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questions about the OBO text and xml formats&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is OBO Format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is OBO Format different from the old GO format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. The old dag-edit format (i.e. the one in which indentation was used to denote the GO hierarchy) is STRONGLY deprecated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where can I find the spec?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find details on the 1.0 spec on the GO home page&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.geneontology.org/GO.format.shtml#oboflat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This spec is somewhat underspecified&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1.2 spec is in preparation, and will be released to coincide with the first production OBO-Edit release sometime early in 2006&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find a preliminary version of the spec here:&lt;br /&gt;
HTML -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.html&lt;br /&gt;
PDF -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.pdf&lt;br /&gt;
Ascii text -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.txt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Why not use XML?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also an obo-xml format. See&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.godatabase.org/dev/xml&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently only available as DTD. Relax-NG and XSD coming soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a UML model?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there is a UML translation of the obo format in progress, produced by Harold Solbrig of Mayo clinic; see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://informatics.mayo.edu/schema/OBO/UMLModel/HTML/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What tools support Obo-Format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following are *ontology* tools that support the OBO format. There are many other tools for the analysis of gene ontology data which also happen to read the OBO format - see http://www.geneontology.org/GO.tools.shtml for a list&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; OBO-Edit&lt;br /&gt;
: (naturally!). You should use this rather than DAG-Edit (DAG-Edit still supports obo-1.0 format), as DAG-Edit is deprecated as of 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; COBRA&lt;br /&gt;
: developed by Stuart Aitken as part of http://www.xspan.org. COBRA is a java ontology editor/viewer for aligning ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; go-perl&lt;br /&gt;
: http://search.cpan.org/~cmungall/go-perl&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Using Protege with OBO ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have two options here - use the Protege OBO plugin, or convert to a format which Protege understands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OBO plugin was developed at the University of Washington, and is no longer supported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can convert any obo-format file to OWL and use Protege-OWL (but not Protege-classic); see the next entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that when you look at many of the OBO ontologies in Protege (classic or Protege-OWL) you will see that there are large amounts of classes apparently at the root level. This is because OBO ontologies have historically not been complete with respect to all classes having a superclass (is-a parent). This is currently being addressed. See the FAQ entry on this subject.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I convert Obo-format to OWL?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. At this present time, the best way of foing this is to use the xslts included in go-perl.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===OK, but can I just download OBO ontologies as OWL without doing the conversion myself?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can, at least for some OBO ontologies. This is an experimental service, and will eventually be subsumed into the services provided by cBio:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.fruitfly.org/~cjm/obo-download&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I convert Obo-format files to Protege-classic?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not yet. In theory it should not be hard to provide an XSL for this. The reverse transformation may be more difficult.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Frequently Asked Questions &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This FAQ is currently in alpha - please be patient...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==NCBO==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is NCBO?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
National Center for Biomedical Ontology http://www.bioontology.org&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OBO==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is OBO?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open Biomedical Ontologies [http://www.bioontology.org/repositories.html#obo (OBO)]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where are the ontologies?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently on http://obo.sourceforge.net&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon to be moving to the NCBO site&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I submit an ontology?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current protocol is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Send an email to the obo-discuss mailing list, even if the ontology is in planning stages&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the ontology satisfies basic criteria, we will add it to the OBO metadata and it will appear on the OBO site&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon we will have an ontology submission service on the NCBO website&lt;br /&gt;

==Building Ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I go about building an ontology?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the OBO Foundry?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A collaborative experiment, involving a group of ontology developers who have agreed in advance to the adoption of a growing set of principles specifying best practices in ontology development. These principles are designed to foster interoperability of ontologies within the broader OBO framework, and also to ensure a gradual improvement of quality and formal rigor in ontologies, in ways designed to meet the increasing needs of data and information integration in the biomedical domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where is the OBO Foundry?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See http://obofoundry.org/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current Ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===incomplete is-a paths===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many OBO ontologies are currently incomplete with respect to all classes/terms having an is-a parent. Many tools (including OBO-Edit and AmiGO) deliberately allow the conflation of relations when presenting the ontology as a DAG or a tree to the user. However, other tools (including Protege and SWOOP) do not. This means that some OBO ontologies can look unusual when viewed with these other tools (lots of classes appear at the root level).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently being addressed by the maintainers of OBO ontologies. An effort is underway to complete the is-a parentage in the GO cellular component ontology (biological process will be more difficult). The Plant Ontology Consortium are completing the is-a parentage in the plant anatomical structure ontology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until this work is complete, some OBO ontologies may look unusual when viewed in conventional ontology browsing and editing tools. With some of these tools, there may be some configurations which allow other relations to be conflated with the is-a relation when presenting the ontology as a DAG or tree view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One option is to automatically create an is-a parent to the ontology root for every non-root class/term which lacks any is-a parents. Note that this may create inconsistencies in the ontology if the genuine is-a parent is somewhere deeper in the ontology hierarchy; nevertheless this step may be necessary before presenting some OBO ontologies to tools such as reasoners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Questions for cores 1 and 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OBO Format==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questions about the OBO text and xml formats&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is OBO Format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is OBO Format different from the old GO format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. The old dag-edit format (i.e. the one in which indentation was used to denote the GO hierarchy) is STRONGLY deprecated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where can I find the spec?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find details on the 1.0 spec on the GO home page&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.geneontology.org/GO.format.shtml#oboflat&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This spec is somewhat underspecified&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1.2 spec is in preparation, and will be released to coincide with the first production OBO-Edit release sometime early in 2006&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find a preliminary version of the spec here:&lt;br /&gt;
HTML -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.html&lt;br /&gt;
PDF -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.pdf&lt;br /&gt;
Ascii text -- http://www.godatabase.org/dev/doc/obo_format_spec.txt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Why not use XML?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also an obo-xml format. See&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.godatabase.org/dev/xml&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently only available as DTD. Relax-NG and XSD coming soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Is there a UML model?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, there is a UML translation of the obo format in progress, produced by Harold Solbrig of Mayo clinic; see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://informatics.mayo.edu/schema/OBO/UMLModel/HTML/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What tools support Obo-Format?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following are *ontology* tools that support the OBO format. There are many other tools for the analysis of gene ontology data which also happen to read the OBO format - see http://www.geneontology.org/GO.tools.shtml for a list&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; OBO-Edit&lt;br /&gt;
: (naturally!). You should use this rather than DAG-Edit (DAG-Edit still supports obo-1.0 format), as DAG-Edit is deprecated as of 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; COBRA&lt;br /&gt;
: developed by Stuart Aitken as part of http://www.xspan.org. COBRA is a java ontology editor/viewer for aligning ontologies&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; go-perl&lt;br /&gt;
: http://search.cpan.org/~cmungall/go-perl&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Using Protege with OBO ontologies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have two options here - use the Protege OBO plugin, or convert to a format which Protege understands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OBO plugin was developed at the University of Washington, and is no longer supported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can convert any obo-format file to OWL and use Protege-OWL (but not Protege-classic); see the next entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that when you look at many of the OBO ontologies in Protege (classic or Protege-OWL) you will see that there are large amounts of classes apparently at the root level. This is because OBO ontologies have historically not been complete with respect to all classes having a superclass (is-a parent). This is currently being addressed. See the FAQ entry on this subject.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I convert Obo-format to OWL?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. At this present time, the best way of foing this is to use the xslts included in go-perl.&lt;br /&gt;
Download and install:&lt;br /&gt;
http://search.cpan.org/~cmungall/go-perl/&lt;br /&gt;
Then run the script&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   go2owl myontology.obo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This functionality will soon be available from oboedit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more details on the mapping, see:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.fruitfly.org/~cjm/obol/doc/mapping-obo-to-owl.html&lt;br /&gt;
