Tutorial by David Osumi-Sustherland (FlyBase)

Date: ???

OBO-Edit2, the new version of the popular ontology editing software, has many powerful new tools for ontology analysis and construction. This tutorial will provide an introduction to the use of OBO-Edit2 to build and maintain OBO ontologies with special emphasis on working with necessary and sufficient definitions.

The following topics will be covered

OBO basics
The type/instance distinction [2]
Theory of OBO relations [2]
Necessary and sufficient definitions
Avoiding tangled hierarchies [1]
OBO-Edit2 basics
Basic editing with the tree editor and the parent editor
Basic searching, filtering and rendering
Necessary and sufficient definitions and use of the reasoner
Declaring disjunction and finding contradictions
OBO-Edit2 advanced use
Advanced searching and rendering
Using renders to track editing progress
Selective importation of foreign terms
Tracking redundancy
Graphing with OBO-Edit
Preparing OBO files for release
Verification
Making implied links hard and stripping redundancy.
