These are two different things. An MAGE-ML dataset describes gene chips, hybridizations to them (e.g. single measurements), and experiments (e.g. collections of hybridizations in different conditions). The MGED ontology (now in OWL!) is used to specify values in several fields of an MAGE-ML record describing aspects of the chips, hybridizations and experiments. There is not (to my knowledge) an OWL way of expressing all of the information in an MGED-ML record. For example, spot intensities are just floats and sequences are just strings. Moving to a completely OWL-specified record what I was suggesting might be something the MGED consortium could be interested in taking on (or at least helping with). Larry
