Thanks!
It'2 240M, but compressed is only 9.
I wonder whether there is some architecture to transparently transfer
compressed ontologies...
well the obo file is a bit more compact, and the source NCBI file is
even more compact. The OWLAPI should be able to read the obo (probably
takes a bit of memory), or you could run the conversion at your end.
Alternatively you could define a subset of interest (aka GO slim),
either extensionally or intensionally, and we could set something up
to import only that slim. I know others who would be interested in a
similar resource.
Ciao,
Andrea

Hi,
I was looking for an NCBI Taxnomoy in OWL, but I didn't find it (or
better, could find fragment from other projects...)
What is strange though, is that on the obo foundry website
(berkeleybop.org/ontologies) there are notes on the ncbi taxonomy
representation in owl... but not the representation itself.
Temporarily dropped from the summary page but still available at the
usual URL
http://purl.org/obo/owl/NCBITaxon
(warning: large..)
Does anybody have some hint about where I can fin an OWL version ?
Or even an RDF version ? Even better would a sparql endpoint
containing it...
best,
