Issues using the BioPAX validator

[Luis Cristóbal Monraz Gómez]

Hi, 

I have been using the BioPAX validator to validate some files and have faced some issues. 

By using the web-version and the R version included in the package "paxtoolsr", I could only retrieve the issues in files smaller than 1 Mb. In files < 1 Mb I get a message like the following: 

"Unable to check with the biopax-validator web service: org.apache.http.client.HttpResponseException: Fall-back: trying to parse the file(s) with paxtools (up to the first syntax error in each file)... Error: org.biopax.paxtools.util.BioPaxIOException: Error processing individual type. rdf:ID or rdf:about not found! in building a BioPAX Model from: macrophages_mdsc_cells_master.owl". 

Afterwards, I tried to use the version in java but I could not run it successfully, because apparently there are some bugs. 

Any help you could give me with this will be highly appreciated. 

Best regards, 

Cristobal Monraz

The problem with the BioPAX Validator web app/service has been fixed; see https://github.com/BioPAX/validator/issues/12

Regarding "Afterwards, I tried to use the version in java but I could not run it successfully, because apparently there are some bugs. 
", - apparently, you're doing something wrong. But you are more than welcome to open a new issue in the BioPAX Paxtools or Validator GitHub repo and provide details and steps to reproduce the problem and prove your point. This could really help everyone and free software rather than simply show your frustration.
