Re : Is there an NCBI taxonomy in OWL ?

Hi Andrea,

this is not an answer to your query but you or others might be interested by this post I wrote a few monthes ago:

http://plindenbaum.blogspot.com/2008/11/taxonomy-and-semantic-web-writing.html

In this post I wrote an extension for arq/sparql returning all the descendants of a given organism. The data were stored in mysql.

Objet : Is there  an NCBI taxonomy in OWL ?

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 ? Or even an RDF version ? Even better would a sparql endpoint containing it...

best,
Andrea Splendiani
