| Two of the most significant formats for biomedical ontologies are the Open Biomedical Ontologies Format (OBOF) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL). To make it possible to translate ontologies between these two representation formats, the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) has developed a mapping between the OBOF and OWL formats as well as inter-conversion software. The goal was to allow the sharing of tools, ontologies, and associated data between the OBOF and Semantic Web communities.

OBOF does not have a formal grammar, so the NCBO had to capture its intended semantics to map it to OWL.

This official NCBO mapping was used to make all OBO Foundry ontologies available in OWL.... |

| In contrast with the centrally-organised curation of the Gene Ontology, many biological ontologies are developed by loosely-organised groups who develop their ontology remotely. These groups tend to be formed from scientists and bio-informaticians from research groups with a common interest, who want to create a resource that will be useful to the community, rather than being formally mandated. Until recently, technological support for bio-ontology development relied on stand-alone editors running on users’ desk- tops for creating new ontology versions (e.g. OBO-Edit, COBrA and Protégé) and on private email, email lists and perhaps Wikis for the distribution of ontology files and discussions. Clearly, much better use could be... |
