RE: Is there an NCBI taxonomy in OWL ?

Hi,
Yes, I already had downloaded you files ;)
>From a first inspection, they seemed to contain a reduction of the NCBI
Taxonomy (in terms of properties).

I was playing as well with your system, actually at:
http://biogw-db.hpc.ntnu.no:8892/sparql

but the query:

select ?x where {
	ssb:NCBI_4530 rdfs:label ?x .

}
Gets in timeout all the time. Shouldn't be such a pretentious query, I
guess, even if you compute transitiveness.

I used to be familiar with biotop, 'till about one year ago. But I don't
aware of the fact that there is a off-the-shelf taxonomy there.

Ciao,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
 
  you can find an RDF at

http://www.semantic-systems-biology.org/biogateway/resources#ncbi

and play with it from:

http://www.semantic-systems-biology.org/biogateway/querying

I would also recommend taking a look at the work of Schulz et al:

http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/24/13/i313
http://www.imbi.uni-freiburg.de/biotop/

cheers,
Erick
