OBI is at release 1.0 >> >> 1. EFO imports parts of OBI that we need for ArrayExpress, we will continue to use EFO in ArrayExpress, as it has added terms and relations between terms that exist nowhere else - cell types, to cell lines for example. And it has some terms that are imported from e.g. the cell type ontologu EFO is an application ontology and will persist as we need it in our GUIs. You can see our paper on this here: >> >> http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/btq099 >> >> 2.

My colleague Jie Zheng is in the process of mapping MO to OBI and when this is complete we will import more terms from OBI into EFO, but EFO will still be used for the foreseeable future by ArrayExpress. You can think of EFO as an application ontology, or view on OBI and many other ontologies. >> >> 4.
