Hi Alan, Here's the GO/NCBO/Berkeley list that Chris Mungall curates (a page I'm certain you've been to many times): http://www.berkeleybop.org/ontologies/ As you know, it contains - among a host of other XML-based formats - XML-serialized OWL & RDF versions of most all OBO ontologies, as well as an extensive collection of mappings (also available in RDF & OWL). Rather than going through and copy & pasting ALL the OWL & RDF links into a text file, I thought I just send this reminder and cc to Chris, as he may have other ideas about how to get these into the NC repository that don't include error-prone copy & pasting or require someone to write a scraper for this page. It would also be worth other members of HCLS IG pitching in to help give you some sense of priorities for these files. I could give you my sense of that - but that may be less inclusive than we really want for future HCLS IG demos or NC efforts in general. In terms of scraping the page, everything is pretty regularized (and probably algorithmically generated, if I know Chris). For the ontologies themselves, the URL template appears to be: http://www.berkeleybop.org/ontologies/obo-all/<ontology_name>/ <ontology_name>.owl http://www.berkeleybop.org/ontologies/obo-all/<ontology_name>/ <ontology_name>.rdf For the inter-ontology maps, the URL template appears to be: http://www.berkeleybop.org/ontologies/obo-all/ <ontology1_xp_ontology2>/< ontology1_xp_ontology2 >.owl http://www.berkeleybop.org/ontologies/obo-all/< ontology1_xp_ontology2 >/< ontology1_xp_ontology2 >.rdf 'xp' for 'cross-product', I assume. So to create a priority list, we'd just need the name of the ontology. Everything else could be done algorithmically.
