[Obo-format] Request for comments on obof1.4 specification
Chris Mungall
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/oboformat/spec.html
Note that the parts of the specification that have not been finalized are marked red. These generally don't affect the logical semantics, and are primarily concerned with which annotation properties we use for certain obo constructs. At the moment, we use a mixture of IAO and oboInOwl. I propose that once we have tidied up any remain bugs in the spec as listed on the tracker, we release this as 1.4.0, by the end of the year. This leaves open the possibility of a 1.4.1 that uses a slight variation of the annotation property mappings. 1.4.1 would not happen before summer 2012.
You can post issues to the tracker, or discuss them here:
http://code.google.com/p/oboformat/issues/list
(On the issue tracker, mark the "type" as "specification" if you are commenting on the spec and not the converter.)
For additional documentation and instructions on how to use the reference obo<->owl converter, see:
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/oboformat
Note that this converter is currently in use as part of the obolibrary pipeline, and runs alongside the old XSLT converter. You can immediately tell the provenance as the legacy converter uses the deprecated "purl.org/obo/owl" URI scheme, whereas the new converter uses the new http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo scheme. For example, http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/go.owl will resolve to OWL generated using the new mapping via the reference converter.
If you are consuming OWL that is generated from OBO-Format, we recommend you use the new mapping and new URIs.
Finally, software developers may wish to check out OWLTools, which provides an "OBO-user-friendly" wrapper to the OWLAPI and the reference converter:
