The OWLAPI should be able to read the obo (probably takes a bit of memory), or you could run the conversion at your end. Alternatively you could define a subset of interest (aka GO slim), either extensionally or intensionally, and we could set something up to import only that slim. I know others who would be interested in a similar resource. > > Ciao, > Andrea > > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Mungall [mailto:cjm@berkeleybop.org] > Sent: 25 February 2009 20:53 > To: andrea splendiani (RRes-Roth) > Cc: public-semweb-lifesci hcls > Subject: Re: Is there an NCBI taxonomy in OWL ? > > > On Feb 25, 2009, at 11:58 AM, 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. > > Temporarily dropped from the summary page but still available at the > usual URL > http://purl.org/obo/owl/NCBITaxon > > (warning: large..) > >> Does anybody have some hint about where I can fin an OWL version ? >> Or even an RDF version ?
