Hi all I've been lurking to this conversation for a while, and since Kerstin has put my name on the table, I thought I could just drop in. Seems to me that what Peter tries to achieve regarding linking to OBO ontologies is a real challenge. The logic (please read : logic in a loose sense here,

Hi Alan, *We use OWL and the Virtuoso endpoint you are using doesn't understand it. * Isn't it more accurate to say that OBO is not the same as the OWL standards? i.e. *OBO does not equal OWL.* - Pete On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 9:15 AM, Alan Ruttenberg alanruttenb...@gmail.comwrote: On Wed,

Hi Carsten, I agree with the comments below.  I think what Bob is suggesting is that you include a non-ontology Core (DCMI for example). Three critical classes are Language, Jurisdiction and (not included in DCMI) Currency (or portable value).  That would be ISO 639-2, ISO 3166 and ISO 4217.
