Hi, Yes, I already had downloaded you files ;) >From a first inspection, they seemed to contain a reduction of the NCBI Taxonomy (in terms of properties). I was playing as well with your system, actually at: http://biogw-db.hpc.ntnu.no:8892/sparql but the query: select ?x where { ssb:NCBI_4530 rdfs:label ?x . } Gets in timeout all the time. Shouldn't be such a pretentious query, I guess, even if you compute transitiveness. I used to be familiar with biotop, 'till about one year ago. But I don't aware of the fact that there is a off-the-shelf taxonomy there.

Hi Andrea, you can find an RDF at http://www.semantic-systems-biology.org/biogateway/resources#ncbi and play with it from: http://www.semantic-systems-biology.org/biogateway/querying I would also recommend taking a look at the work of Schulz et al: http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/24/13/i313 http://www.imbi.uni-freiburg.de/biotop/ cheers, Erick Andrea Splendiani wrote: > Hi, > > I was looking for an NCBI Taxnomoy in OWL, but I didn't find it (or > better, could find fragment from other projects...) > > What is strange though, is that on the obo foundry website > (berkeleybop.org/ontologies) there are notes on the ncbi taxonomy > representation in owl... but not the representation itself. > > Does anybody have some hint about where I can fin an OWL version ?
