Hi Hilmar - answering on the list:

Very impressive docs!

Looking at this:
https://www.phenoscape.org/wiki/OBD_Reasoner#Relation_Chains

Yes, you are absolutely correct, there is a hardcoded relation chain
in there (inheres_in . part_of --> inheres_in_part_of) - but this will
go soon.

At the moment you can also pass in arbitrary horn rules by (a) writing
a view and (b) passing this in on the command line using the --view
option. Relation chains are a subset of horn rules.

This isn't the easiest way of doing this, so at some point I will
allow for both:

- directly using the relation chain as encoded in the obo or owl file
- a friendlier way of passing in more complex rules directly from the
ontology
