Other Items

Tabled from previous meetings:

OBA development- Chris Mungall

  • CM: If there is time I would like to walk through the procedure we use to develop OBA.
  • Part of this was covered in the tutorial on template-based ontology development, but we had to rush this part due to lack of time:

  • For OBA, the source of the ontology is primarily in TSVs, found here:

https://github.com/obophenotype/bio-attribute-ontology/tree/master/src/ontology/modules

  • The design patterns are specified here:

https://github.com/obophenotype/bio-attribute-ontology/tree/master/src/ontology/patterns

  • Together these are used to build the ontology with equivalence axioms, with the entire ontology hierarchy being inferred automatically, e.g:
