Hi Kei, I am under the impression that the neuronames ontology available on their website (as an Excel file...) is different from the version that is licensed as part of the UMLS. I guess the version that is online is a newer version of the one incorporated in UMLS. However, this might be seen as a derivative work, so it might still be restricted. In that case, it would seem like people of the neuronames group are violating the licence restrictions themselves (by making it available on the internet). I will write them and ask about that. kind regards, Matthias > > Hi Matthias, > > > Thanks for doing that, but do we still have the licensing issue as > stated by Olivier? > > Cheers, > > > -Kei > > > Matthias Samwald wrote: > > >> I will convert the neuronames - ontology to SKOS (an OWL ontology >> used for the representation of taxonomies / theasauri).
