Thanks. I have been using classes and properties from MGED Ontology in magetab2magerdf (http://magetab2magerdf.googlecode.com), and was hoping to move to an OBI-based mapping sooner rather than later. You can see an example at http://magetab2rdf.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/magetab2magerdf/examples/E-MEXP-986.rdf You will note that I am using an extension of MO which includes classes and properties for things like Comments, ProtocolApplications, and other items that are missing from MO. Any advice on if those items exist in OBI would be helpful.
