|
||
<h3>Are the ontologies in the OBO Foundry available only in OBO format?</h3> | ||
<p> | ||
No! | ||
<a href="http://www.bioontology.org/wiki/index.php/OboInOwl:Main_Page">Here is a definition of the OBO language in terms of | ||
OWL semantics</a>. | ||
You can download any OBO ontology in various formats--including OWL--<a href="http://www.berkeleybop.org/ontologies">here</a>. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<h3>Is there a tool that will let me create or edit OBO | ||
ontologies?</h3> | ||
|
||
<p><a href="http://www.oboedit.org/">OBO-Edit</a>, an open source Java | ||
tool, offers a convenient visual interface for creating, editing, and browsing ontologies. | ||
It was initially created to work on OBO-format ontologies, but is currently | ||
being extended to handle other ontology formats, such as OWL. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<h3>How should we resolve conflicts when ontologies overlap?</h3> | ||
<p> | ||
Make every attempt to resolve inconsistencies and merge the | ||
ontologies. Tools are available for aiding this process | ||
(such as <a href="http://www.berkeleybop.org/obol/">OBOL</a> | ||
and <a | ||
href="http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Prompt">Prompt</a>) | ||
and the community can be used to help clarify best | ||
practices. | ||
|
||
Also, face-to-face meetings can helpful to resolve details | ||
that cannot be covered through email. | ||
