The OBO-Edit Ontology Developer's Environment: A Practical Introduction
Tutorial by David Osumi-Sutherland (FlyBase / Gene Ontology Consortium) organized in conjunction with the International Conference on Biomedical Ontology.
Date: July 23, 2009 (Afternoon)
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 using OBO-Edit2 to build and maintain ontologies, with special emphasis on working with computable 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
- Instantiating implied links and eliminating redundancy.
