RE: Gene Ontology

Hi Asad,

The National Center for Biomedical Ontology has created an OBO to OWL
mapping, which can be found at:

http://www.bioontology.org/wiki/index.php/OboInOwl:Main_Page

We will soon (soon = less than 10 days) release protégé plugins to
read in any OBO format file (including the GO) and convert them to
OWL. The bleeding edge code for the plugins can be found at:

http://smi-protege.stanford.edu/svn/obo-converter/trunk/

The GO in OWL loads fine into protégé (make sure you have the max heap
size set to about 1GB).

Regards,
Nigam.
