OBO <-> OWL Conversion • Exchanging information between different ontological sources is a necessity: • Biomedical ontologies usually written either in OBO or OWL and, often, conversion between these two formats is required • Existing tools show deficiencies: • When converting “arbitrary” OWL files to OBO • Definitions are omitted by existing converters in such files • When the ontologies are relatively large • Converters are memory-intensive • e.g. with Gazetteer (GAZ - 134MB, 518.195 classes) • Decided to develop two scripts to deal with the issues faced Freely available at http://code.google.com/p/obowl/
OBO2OWL & OWL2OBO scripts • Both scripts written in Perl • OWL2OBO • Identifies and successfully converts statements included in “arbitrary” OWL files. • Common mappings are also considered and identified • Tags from IAO ontology and OboInOwl mapping • OBO2OWL • Identifies and successfully converts OBO tags to OWL statements • The user may choose either to generate statements that rely on IAO & oboInOwl mappings or not • They both scale for large ontologies • By using the Perl::Tie function, which does not load file contents into main memory • Less memory-intensive than the existing tools • Tested with a variety of ontologies with positive results

Complexity of IDO vs. IDOMAL “simple” infection vs. vector-borne disease I D O host pathogen IDOMAL host pathogen vector
Malaria types • Four pathogens, different manifestations, different epidemiology, different short and long term prognosis, similar (if not same) therapy. In addition, P.f. malaria can take diverse roads: “uncomplicated”, severe, cerebral (Not stages, neither chronic vs acute). • Are these different diseases? (four ontologies that overlap by >99%). • Primary aim of the ontology: satisfy “users” or be “correct”?
Malaria transmission vs pathogen transmission
IDOMAL • biological process • multi-organism process • process of host • process of host population • process of pathogen • process of vector • process of vector population • quality • quality of host • quality of host population • quality of vector • quality of vector population • quality of parasite • quality of the environment, e.g. temp, hum, wind,
Resistance versus Refractoriness • In IDO “protective resistance”is “disposition”while “susceptibility”is “quality”. • “Insecticide resistance” and “drug resistance” are “phenotypes”. Most OBO ontologies handle phenotypes as “quality”. In IDOMAL “Insecticide resistance” is “quality of vector” while “drug resistance” is quality of pathogen. • “Refractoriness”is “disposition”.
VB_cv and units • Publication descriptor can be moved over IDO’s “data items”? • Units could be treated the same way or, perhaps, • Would have to be passed into UO (Units of measurements ontology) ?
