The problem here is the one I alluded to. We use OWL and the Virtuoso endpoint you are using doesn't understand it. I am ccing Kingsley and officially "tsk"ing him. We've known each other long enough that I'd have hoped he would have got some OWL religion by now.
Yes, I am an OWL believer!Pete: use the ontology in question as the basis for a Virtuoso Inference rule, then invoke the describe URL with the parameter for inference context application.
Example:1. http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/describe/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2FNET%2Fgooglevocab%23Product -- no inference context 2. http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/describe/?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2FNET%2Fgooglevocab%23Product&inf=oplweb -- inference context applied 3. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/presentations/SPARQL_Tutorials/SPARQL_Tutorials_Part_5/SPARQL_Tutorials_Part_5.html#(53)
By that I don't mean doing full reasoning arbitrary combinations of RDF from different sources - but at least correctly parsing OWL is something I would have hoped be implemented by now.What the HAO should look like in a simple linked data browser (where some of the 'data' is in the form of OWL class definitions) is something like this:http://www.ontobee.org/browser/rdf.php?o=HAO&iri=http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HAO_0001000 <http://www.ontobee.org/browser/rdf.php?o=HAO&iri=http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HAO_0001000>Virtuoso knows how to do CBD (in fact ontobee is virtuoso as triple store too), but the page generator on your endpoint isn't doing it on the page it generates. Instead it does straight links out and links in. The links in are from an annotation on the axiom. It would be better there to not display anything, or to display a note saying there is an annotation that it can't display, or to properly parse the annotation (which would require another CBD query starting at the annotation) and display it. Kingsley, the source for ontobee is available - why not pick it up or use it as a spec for how to properly display OWL?
Will do.
The assertional content is: *class: tentorio-antennal muscle * subClassOf: antennal muscle subClassOf: attached_to some scape subClassOf: attached_to some anterior tentorial armThe SPARQL queries used to collect the content on the page are available by a link at the bottom of the page.The RDF that is generated can be seen by view source. I can see desirable improvements, e.g. adding some isDefinedBy links, and including all the inferrred superclasses, but that's not directly to your question, and is the sort of thing I mean when I say we will be working further on the RDF for the terms.Doing a GET for application/rdf+xml to the purl will pull in approximately the same RDF. The HAO folks decided to make their own browser for their content instead of using ontobee, which is fine. What we've tried to promote within the OBO community is the use of semweb technology as one form of dissemination, use of stable URIs as identifiers, and the ability to provide both human readable pages and machine readable pages. I'll get to Bernard's email later, but I hope you and he will realize that promoting and starting to successfully achieve implementation of these values for the OBO ontologies will yield very good value for the semantic web. There is an incredible amount of very well curated biological knowledge that is constantly being generated by that community.I was thinking that the character states described in this ontology could be attached to species like this. <http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/z9oqP#Species> <somePredicate> <someHAOCharacterState>Are there what you would call character states in the example you gave above? I understand it as a bit of anatomy knowledge - what part connects to what. I guess what I need to know is what, if any, assertions would you make given that you now see what was intended to be seen? Do you need a flattening predicate (my preference would be to use an annotation property) that more directly links the species concept to scape and anterior tentorial arm? What should it be?And be properly interpreted on Sig.ma example http://bit.ly/zfbimyI'll have to look at that later. But I would ask of it and of your endpoint: Is there some obligation to properly interpret what is stated according the web standard OWL? Surely the obligation for proper interpretation needs to be a mutual effort?From my point of view I want to make the OBO LOD be useful and I understand that there are different communities that would use it. I think we need to be true to the representation we choose - it provides a lot of benefits for query, consistency checking, etc. But we're also trying to be polite to others and are open to augmenting it so that it can be of utility to others. The key is for us to first understand how we should do that, for you to understand what is currently being said, and when we're done for your client applications to either represent what we've said too, or learn how to ignore it.-Alanps. For some examples of how using OWL is yielding tangible benefits you could browse http://groups.google.com/group/fma-owl-2009 In that effort I'm slowly working through translating a human anatomy ontology, the FMA, into OWL, and in the process discovering (and having fixed) thousands of errors.
Yep! SeeAlso:1. https://plus.google.com/s/inference%20owl%20linked%20data%20idehen -- fuzzy search on G+ posts about virtues of OWL and Inference re. data quality improvements (note: LOD cloud cache is still undergoing maintenance re. LOD2 so some live demo links might not work).

I read the paper. They have an "OWL" version of this OBO vocabulary but it seems to not be a fully mapped OWL version as described in your paper. Which one? In this particular use case I was thinking of applying the terms and properties described by the ontology to my species concepts. This is a nice example and should be supported. An immediate suggestion is to send mail to obo-disc...@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:obo-disc...@lists.sourceforge.net> as that is where you will find both the developers of the OBO LOD support as well as the biologist community. For instance: species X has this metabolic pathway. (which would be useful for finding species with potential drug interactions or other chemical reactions) We're in the process of revising BFO and the relations ontology. A draft version is at http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/bfo.owl In terms of that, your statement might be represented as <species> subclassOf 'has site of' some <metabolic process> if you want to represent that all members of the species have the process or <anonymous instance of species> 'has site of' <anonymous instance of process> e.g. @prefix obo: <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/> @prefix hasSiteOf: <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000067> _:a rdf:type <species> _:b rdf:type <metabolic process> _:a hasSiteOf: _:b If you want to represent that the process happens in some individuals of this species. In the above I write <species> where you would write the uri of your species class (e.g. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCBITaxon_9903) , and <metabolic process> where you would write the uri of your process class (e.g. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0030245). I don't think this use case requires the full OBO relationships, just a mapping ontology that connects terms and characters to those in the OBO ontology. Not sure what you mean by this. Doing it this way you might get a species "tagged" with something that is not appropriate but that could be detected by some service that analyzes the statements made in the species concept markup Example? . My guess is that some of the OBO ontologies (if fully entailed) will not play well on the LOD cloud, but they would play a useful role when mapped as I described. Examples would be helpful. But note that it is our intention that we *do* play well on the LOD cloud. However also note, we work in OWL and much of what we say is about types/classes, and many(most?) linked data browsers don't understand or present OWL in a meaninful way. One of the reasons we have developed ontobee is that it is designed to do justice to linked ontology terms that are defined in terms of OWL. So class expressions are not left as messes of bnodes, but instead parsed and displayed as OWL. I'd like to see more linked data browsers do the same. Does my interpretation seem appropriate to you or am I missing something? I hope you are missing something :) But please elaborate so we can see.
