Thanks!
It'2 240M, but compressed is only 9.
I wonder whether there is some architecture to transparently transfer
compressed ontologies...
HTTP-accessible ontologies should be able to be setup to be downloaded
with gzip (or equivalent) HTTP transfer encoding, which does indeed
compress Web resources (ontologies or otherwise) transparently for
transfer.
I'm happy to help anyone who wants to set this up on their servers (at
least if it's Apache-based, which is where most of my experience lies).
(Apologies if the question was getting at something specific for
ontologies, rather than more general for HTTP.)

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,
