Hi All, The latest updates on the OBO to OWL translation are at: http://www.bioontology.org/wiki/index.php/OboInOwl:Main_Page For those interested in details, there is a google spreadsheet which tells you exactly what maps to what (with a rationale) this is at: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pWN_4sBrd9l1Umn1LN8WuQQ > But now goes back to Mary's question, I do think obo:Term is > for the same concept of "resource" in RDF.

Yes and there is no obo:Term in the mapping. > The OBO prefix should be turned into a namespace URI, then the > obo:id can be concatenated to form the URI for each specific > term.

Well, techincally not all URI are URLs ... And a 404 only applies to URLs. > So, assigning the namespace URI also means the responsibility of > maintaining the document. We are hoping to do this with www.bioontology.org/ontologyname#termname, please see the mapping if you are interested in the details. Regards, Nigam.
